This refers to the delegates’ wellbeing and comfort in the committee room. It may be called out for some of the following reasons: the room is too hot or cold,the delegate cannot hear the speaker. This point may disrupt a speaker only when due to audibility.

4. Point of Info (to speaker)
Point of Information (to the speaker):
This is simply a question that is asked to the speaker concerning the content of a speech or other issues relevant to debate. The point must be phrased as a question and the delegate asking must remain standing whilst the question is answered, out of respect for the speaker. This point must not be abused by delegates wishing to make a speech.

5. Point of Info (to chair)
Point of Information (to the Chair):
This is a question addressed to the Chair, pertaining to anything other than the rules of procedure. So it may be about lunch break, or asking the Chair to clarify a decision that was made.

6. Point of order
