Hey, I'm a junior at Marshall HS in Falls Church, VA, and my MUN sponsors are wondering if there are any other schools in the Northern VA area that are going to either Nationals in NY or NAIMUN. It'd be cool if our schools could talk beforehand, concerning transportation (like group fares for the train and whatnot) and of course our committee topics. For NAIMUN, we have Egypt on the GAs, and a bunch of assignments for smaller committees.

Wow, I'm glad to see that there are other people that are part of Model UN than just me and my small little group at school.
Actaully, you all may be able to answer a quick question for me:
I'm in Florida and about two weeks ago we had our monthly district conference. I'm not sure what some of the protocols are in other districts, but under out FHSMUN rules, the school that hosts picks two members from their school to be Chair and Co-Chair. Well, the Chair was completely inept. He did not know what he was doing and I had to make more Points of Order than of Personal Privilage. I asked the Judges and the sponsor from my school if there is such a thing within Model UN, either on the high school or college level, of a Vote of No Confidence.
So this is my question: Does such Parlimentary Procedure exist, just for future reference.
Thank you.

hey! is anyone planning on going to SAIMUN in Dublin this March?? I'm Finland on ECOSOC (but have been recommended as a chair! eek!)
anyway, I've debated internationally before, but we're bringing a team of 15 and about two-thirds of them have never experienced international debates (meaning lobbying, pre-written resolutions, the whole amendment procedure...all the non-americanish stuff). We're drafting a guidebook to a European conference format...any helpful pointers????
ANYTHING would be appreciated.
Thanks! <3 abbie

Hey everybody! This is a little off subject but I was put in charge of
creating the design of our Model UN shirts. The problem is...I have no
idea what to put on it. Does anyone have any ideas? I was thinking
about using the UN logo, but that is probably trademarked. They are
long-sleeved by the way. Any idea? Anyone?

Hi everyone!
Right, I'm rewriting the parli for the MUN we host for high schoolers over the break (sorry, we're a college, I should have said that). These are small committees, with 30-60 delegates each, and 2-3 chairs/dais staff.
Are there any elements that you've found particularly helpful in someone's rules or something that was particularly obnoxious? A rule at one conference that you'd die to have at all of them? Any suggestions would be really appreciated! If you're really gung-ho, our current rules are somewhere on the website at: www.earlham.edu/~modelun or I can try to answer questions!
Cheers and thanks a bunch!

Eh heh heh...ATTEMPTING to create this online MUN forum type thingy...then I realized
A. I'm not popular, I don't have anyone to help me
and B. I have no money to advertise...who's gonna join
These are the kind of things I should think about before jumping into things ^^;;
What kind of awards have you all won? I'm interested because...I'm nosy :) Is it a lot harder to do MUN in high school, because I'm thinking about making it my new...afterschool thing :D

Hello-- I've been a member of this community for a while, but I haven't posted but maybe once or twice.
I just thought I'd get the word out to anyone who might live in the Southeastern United States. I'm Sec Gen for a conference called Southeastern High School Model UN; it's held in my hometown of Chattanooga, Tennessee. Local schools and schools from all over the Southeast send delegates, and we'd love to see new schools attend. We are student-led by high schoolers and our program is run through the YMCA of Metropolitan Chattanooga. Our next conference will be held in November 2005.
Our website is www.shsmun.org, check it out or e-mail me at secgen@shsmun.org for more info.
Also, is anyone here going to National MUN (NHSMUN) in New York in March?

I was just curious to know if anybody in this community ever attended the HMC conferences, and in particular the European edition in Paris. I was on NSC 2001. Just wondering... :)

Hey, did anyone here go to PWMUN? (I'm assuming that the person who posted before me did, since, according to their profile, she lives in McLean.) I'm from Marshall HS, and we represented the Reublic of Korea and Jordan.
What did you guys think of it? I thought it was run pretty well. I had a LOT of fun. I wish that they didn't run out of cheese pizza, though! :-D And sticking those "out of order" signs on the vending machines . . . lovely. :)
SOMEHOW, our school ended up winning the Secretariat’s Award for Research. We're not exactly sure how, but we're not going to question it too much, seeing as how we love having nice, shiny plaques to add to our small trophy cabinet. ^_^

I'm new here :D
I'm in 8th grade and in Model UN...just came back from a 2 day conference and got best delegation award, so I'm pretty happy :D
This is my first year doing Model UN between schools, and that was my second conference, so I get pretty nervous but it's all worth it :)
Well...I guess that's it...yeah, I guess I'm a little young (I'm a giggling 12 year old) but Model United Nations really interests me because my dumb school has no sports -_-
Well, I'm done now :D

Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Anna and I love MUN. It is wicked fun! Even, my advisor thinks I am semi-nuts because I get so excited about confrences. That may be partially do to the fact that I spent most of the morning telling him I was "wired". Anyway, I am a sophmore at Dondero HS in Royal Oak, MI.
GLIMUN (Great Lakes Invitational MUN) ended today? Anyone in this community go? It is a 4 day long conference. I had never been to GLIMUN before and I was a head delegate. It turned out pretty good. I am not a big fan of plinary and GLIMUN involves pretty much a whole day of it. My school was representing Cuba, Mozambique, Azerbaijan, and Benin. I personally was representing Mozambique in Human rights Committee. The only topic we got to was sharia law. It was kind of annoying at the begining because alot of countries couldn't understnad simple concepts like: seperation of church and state does not exist in all countries, the difference between Arab and Muslim Nations, and that the UN does not have the authority to reform relgion. They finally figured it out and everything ran alot smoother. All in all, it was a good conference
Well, our next conference is University of Michigan (UMMUN) on January 13-16. I am uber excited! My school is representing Angloa, Cuba, Pakistan, and Sudan. We sign up for committees on Monday!!

First night of RHSMUN was FUN!
XD Wheee... (If anyone is currently attending, I'm Spain in SPECPOL).
Peacekeeping in Western Africa is tricky, but interesting. I was nervous at first, as I always am, but the awesome delegates remind me of why I love MUN so much. ^^
I love talking about the "DDR plans". I always think of Dance Dance Revolution when someone mentions it. Hee... The Israel delegate actually ADMITTED that's what he thought it was when it was first mentioned. (I didn't know it's other meaning (Demobilize, Disarm, and Reintergrate) until I was informed, but I didn't actually admit that... hahaha... ^^;

I just haphazardly found this group and joined. I am an avid model UN fan, and will be at both McMUN and CANIMUN this year. Will anyone else be there?
I am actually researching for a background guide I am writing at the moment for the 1999 US War Room committee and am having a little trouble with finding members of the US National Security Council before the Kosovo War. I found a few things, but many of the ppl were appointed in the summer. I need the members that were there right before the start of the war. If anyone has any suggestions as to a site that might list them or a book I would greatly appreciate it!
Thanks!
Jadzia_llb :)
