Robert's Rules of Order

Hello Historical Delegates:

Just some more things for helping you figure out your way around our new committee's format.

First, we'll be following regular rules of procedure for HSMUN, so if you have experience with HSMUN, it will be very similar to other committees. The only catch is that we are unlikely to have a Primary Speaker's List, as there is only one topic!

Second, we will be providing an award for the best dressed delegate. Best dressed you say? Best dressed we say! You are not by any means required to dress up, but it will make the committee a lot more fun if you do. Come in time period or nationally appropriate clothing, and you may very well be rewarded.

Third, we are probably going to be spending a lot of time looking at maps. To help you with that, we'll be providing a large map of the Palestinian Protectorate with as much detail as we can get and have it in the room at all times. We'll also have a few transparencies available so that you can draw on them as you need to when you're negotiating different plans and deals. Bring some non-permanent markers, the more colours the better.

I hope you guys are looking forward to this as much as we are! We've got some surprises planned for you during the conference.

One of the best parts of historical committees? News clips with dated accents!

PS. Don't forget your position papers.

Cheers,

Robert
