What makes a good elevator pitch? Engage audience with a question or compelling introduction to the problem. Introduce your proposed solution/s to the problem. Explain evidence for its likely success: possibly include scientific data, the names of your allies, economic backing, other evidence Close with re-stating your proposal.

What is a resolution? A resolution is a document that contains all the issues that a group wants to solve and the proposed solutions to that issue. It is a draft resolution before it is voted upon and then a resolution after it is successfully passed. Resolutions are usually written with and during an informal caucus where delegates roam and collaborate together. All debate and teamwork lead up to a resolution. Conferences usually pass multiple resolutions as long as they do not contradict one another.

Here are parts of a resolution Heading committee name (General Assembly), sponsors (author countries), signatories (other countries who would like to see it debated, not necessarily in agreement yet. There must be at least 3 sponsors to be presented and discussed. Pre-ambulatory clauses states all the issues or problems that the committee wants to resolve on this issue. It may highlight previous international actions, or general background information. Each statement in this section begins with a pre-ambulatory phrase, such as Reminding, Reaffirming, Noting, Recognizing, Realizing, Alarmed by, Bearing in mind, and ends with a comma. Operative clause states the solutions that the sponsors propose to resolve the issues. The operative clauses should address the issues specifically mentioned in the pre-ambulatory clauses above it. It is better if there are more operative than pre- ambulatory clauses.
