like to achieve within debates in the long run.

RoP (Rules of Procedure):Your religious text of

of a delegate to the chair in regards to
understanding a rule and how this rule should be
used,or any other thing within the committee that
theymay not understand perfectly well.

Point of Information: Points of Information are used

most often after the speech of a delegate, by
another delegate, if something might need clearing
up.This Point is however not used within every
MUN, and sometimes will be mashed in together
with the Point of Inquiry.

with this one. If you have a question and it regards
your personal problem, feel free to use this Point.
That entails bathroom breaks, asking for another
power outlet, needing to change clothing because
you spilled something on yourself, etc, etc.

Point of Order: If you notice someone not following

the Rules of Procedure, be it another delegate or
even the chair, this is how you can call them out.
This Point can prove to be rather important if a rule
break would have heavily influenced the flow of a
session.
