MODERATED CAUCUSES

A delegate can move to enter a moderated caucus:      A) After topic speeches      B) during an open floor (no ongoing speeches, caucuses, etc.) To motion to move into a moderated caucus, be sure to... A) state the time allotted to the caucus B) the topic at hand  C) the amount of time given to each speaker

The purpose of a moderated caucus is to discuss a subtopic of your main topic with the entire committee in a formal fashion. Examples: - Nuclear Proliferation SUBTOPIC: Political Repercussions of Proliferation Resolutions - South China Sea Dispute  SUBTOPIC: Outlets for Potential Economic Equality

Raise your placard to be a part of the moderated caucus! Speeches will begin after a speaker's list is scribed – here are some talking points: A) an important idea or fact B) possible solutions C) country's stance on subtopic  Your speech's goal should be to inform the committee of ideas to use in drafting resolutions.

Remember! I) Anytime during the moderated caucus, to the chair's discretion, delegates can motion to: extend the time of the caucus, extend the time allotted to each speaker, or table the caucus

Once the moderated caucus has exhausted all of its allotted time, you can move to:      A) an unmoderated caucus      B) a different subtopic focus in a separate moderated caucus another moderated caucus of a different subtopic
