Rules of procedure in DR section By Henry King
2
n I write the whole PPT in English. You need that, anyway. If you feel you cannot understand, Tell me then.
3
Write DR You may start writing DR after writing the WP and when your team is ready. It will normally start at the end of 2 nd session to the beginning of 3 rd session. Finish writing before the 3 rd session ends. Or to hand it in at middle of the 3 rd session, if you and your team could manage to finish. However, NO RUSH. You need NOT be the first one handing in DR.
4
Get signatories Use the UMC time and break time to do that. Signatories refers to those who want the DR to be DISCUSSED. They need not agree with that totally. You need 20% delegates to be your sponsor+signatories, or DR will not be talked about at all.
5
Introduce DR After the formal debate ends(as I mentioned in the previous ppt), leaders of blocs will have some time to introduce the DR, bloc by bloc. Leaders from the SAME bloc will one by one introduce something related to DR Leaders will answer QUESTIONs, from allies, rivals, and neutral delegates. Every DR will last about 10 minutes.
6
How do I do that? Be a leader, or at least a leading writer. Be confident when you are introducing Answer questions NOT being sophistic, if anything is wrong with your DR, say ‘Thank you for pointing that out, we will fix that in amendment.’ Do not be afraid to strike back when your rivals are being aggressive
7
MC about DR After introducing and asking questions about the DRs, people may raise MC to talk about different DRs, comparing and looking for defects and improvement. For leaders, it is time to defend your DR, to know what to improve and what will satisfy others. It is the last chance for canvassing neutralists. Be firm against your rivals’ criticism, be open to those inactive delegates’ opinions.
8
Amendments Amendments are changes to DR Write that and hand that in at the same time while the MC about DR On papers, you write: Change …clause…subclause to … Insert … after/before …clause…subclause Delete … clause…subclause Use amendments to improve your DR!
9
Friendly? Unfriendly? Friendly Amendments requires all the SPONSORS to agree and sign on the amendment. The change will be applied automatically. Others are called unfriendly amendment. You need to vote to pass the amendment.
10
Voting procedure Delegate of … motion for moving into the voting procedure. After introduction and time for MC, a motion will be needed to move into the voting procedure, where DRs are going to be voted. 2/3 majority is required to pass the DR.
11
Order of DR Normally, DRs are voted in the order that they are handed in. You hand in first, your DR will be voted first. When a DR is passed, the other ones will not be voted! You may motion for changing the order of DR.
12
That’s it!
