ROLE OF DELEGATES

Delegates take up the responsibility of their assigned characters and should contribute to the
debate in all possible areas.
While the Executive Board retains the Ultimate decision making authority, it is the responsibility
of delegates to craft, propose and vote upon directives.

CCC as a committee includes a lot of documentation, and back and forth between the front
room and backroom

1. FRONT ROOM
Front room refers to the committee itself, it includes the standard MUN debate.

OPENING STATEMENTS
This refers to the opening statements made by the heads of state of each cabinet. In this, the
delegate holding the position of the head of state must speak regarding their stance and their
positioning upon the events that have transpired through the agenda.
Speaking time is set to 90 seconds and no point of inquiries will be entertained due to these
statements being presidential in nature.
If the speaking time ends before 90 seconds, it is assumed that the delegates have yielded their
remaining time back to the chairs.

SPEAKERS LIST
The speakers list refers to order in which delegates will speak on the topic being the agenda.
During the speakers list delegates from each country will take the opportunity to speak.

MODERATED CAUCUS
The moderated caucus is aimed to facilitate and accelerate the discussion on the issues
deemed as essential and critical for the topic on agenda. The motion for the moderated caucus
can be introduced by any of the delegates once the Floor is open for Points and Motions.
The delegate shall specify the total time of the Motion (not exceeding 20 minutes), individual
speaker´s time for each of the delegates (not exceeding the speaker´s time set for the
Speaker's List) and the purpose of the Motion.
The purpose (topic of the moderated caucus) must be connected to the issue currently being
discussed on the agenda and shall be more particular
A Simple Majority of the quorum is required for the motion to pass.

UNMODERATED CAUCUS
Unmoderated caucus is the most informal out of all forms of debate during which delegates are
able to freely discuss all issues with other delegations, lobby for their interest. No paperwork is
to be carried out during

2. BACK ROOMS

A back room is what makes CCC unique and different from the other committees. You can enter
the back-room with your respective bloc, where the delegates deliberate upon the topics
discussed in the front-room, and then form the crisis notes and communiques (explained
further). Through crisis notes delegates can establish their own storyline and take advantage of
loopholes other delegates have created in their front-room directives and debates to gain
greater power.

It is important that there is no physical demarcation between the front room and the backroom.
They both are concepts that will function within the same physical room itself.
Given the fact that the majority of the decisions made are in a fast-paced setting where
delegates' swift decision-making skills are examined, preparing for crisis committees is
challenging. Crisis committees, like every other committee in Model UN must conduct indepth
research and planning in order to produce the required results. Your main goal should be to
change the world to fit your agenda. Do research to figure out how to go from point A at the start
of the committee to point B which is your ultimate goal.

PROCEDURE

The crisis committee proceedings are different from that of a regular committee. Since
delegates represent characters instead of countries, they are forced to take actions in real time
that will affect the flow of debate and events during the committee.

NOTE - the following is a suggested timeline of events in a crisis, this may change during
committee proceedings depending on the situation.

1. Roll call
2. Once roll call is done the committee session begins with the Opening statements from
the US- China Cabinets
3. The Opening Statements is followed by the Speaker’s list.
4. The Speaker’s List is inexhaustible. It will go on till the end of the conference. The
committee will revert back to the speaker’s list if there are no motions, moderated
caucuses or crises on the floor of the committee
5. A crisis will be introduced in the middle of normal proceedings following this, all prior
motions or present continuing motions will cease and deliberations upon the crisis will
 begin. A crisis can also begin when a directive (350 words) passed through a
delegation of one side of the war severely impacts the other side.
6. Once the crisis has been posed, we recommend that delegates enter into an
unmoderated caucus to research and discuss the crisis.
7. After the unmoderated caucus, delegates can raise a motion for an mod caucus/ special
speakers list whereupon the willing delegates will be recognised and they can give a
speech explaining their stance on the crisis
8. crisis updates will be given after a specific time gap to the delegates after which the
delegates can debate and discuss the crisis to come up with a solution
9. Till the committee feels the discussion on the crisis is not over, it can continue to use
moderated caucuses to speak
10. At some point the committee will enter the backroom. This will either be initiated by the
EB or the delegates ( will require ⅔ majority ) each delegate has one vote
11. In the backroom, the delegates lay the groundwork for their crisis notes. Delegates can
host one on one meetings with other delegates, but the communication that has
transpired should be official and a communique detailing the same should be submitted
to the EB.
12. After the time for backroom elapses, the focus should be on resolving the crisis. A crisis
is resolved when a directive is passed.
13. after the directive is sent to the EB, It is upon the EB’s authority to pass the directive or
not. The quality of the directive dictates this aspect.
14. Once the crisis is over, delegates shall continue with regular committee proceedings, till
the next crisis is posed
15. delegates can communicate with each other via chits in the committee proceedings.
