When can a working paper be discussed?
During formal debate only
Under a working paper speakers' list
Anytime, except debates on draft resolutions or amendment
Anytime
A delegate has just taken POIs after a speech. Can they yield to a delegate on the list?
Yes, they will get the speaker's remaining time plus theirs
Yes, they will get their set speaking time only
No, the speaker can only yield to the director
No, you cannot yield during formal debate
A delegate can yield to a speaker on the speakers' list if they have taken POIs, but they can only speak for their allocated time. Yielding to them essentially bumps them up the queue.
When do you allow delegates who vote 'with rights' to speak?
Immediately after they cast their vote
Just before the final vote is announced
After the final vote in announced
Delegates cannot vote 'with rights' at AMUNC
Delegates who vote 'with rights' may explain their decision after the final vote has been tallied and announced. Their speech may be no more than 30 seconds long.
Put the following motions in order: close debate, procedural debate, moderated caucus.
Moderated caucus, procedural debate, close debate
Procedural debate, close debate, moderated caucus
Procedural debate, moderated caucus, close debate
Close debate, procedural debate, moderated caucus
For full details on the order of precedence for points and motions see Rules 70 and 71.
Does the seconder give a separate speech for amendments?
Yes, they are the first speaker on the speakers' list
Yes, they speak between the proposer and the speakers' list
They speak at the discretion of the director
No, the seconder does not have a specific speech
The seconder does not have a separate speech when debating amendments. The committee moves from the proposer's speech into the speakers' list with the first speaker 'against' the amendment.
A delegate has given a speech for 4 minutes and has 1 minute spare. Who can they yield to?
Delegate on the speakers' list, giving them 5 + 1 minutes
Delegate off the speakers' list, giving them 1 minute
The director, who calls on the next delegate on the list
All of the above
In these circumstances a delegate may yield to any of these people.
What happens once a draft resolution is introduced?
A draft resolution speakers' list is opened
The proposer and seconder have a chance to speak
The document can be discussed at any time during debate
The proposer/seconder speak, then the speakers' list opens
Once a draft resolution is introduced, the proposer will clarify any terminology and then speak to the resolution. The seconder will then speak. Following this, a draft resolution speakers' list will be opened with delegates speaking 'for' or 'against'.
When can a delegate 'request an explanation'?
When they are unsure of a particular rule or procedure
After substantive votes to challenge a delegate's decision
After any vote, procedural or substantive
Never
Delegates may request an explanation after a substantive vote if they feel that another delegate's decision is incorrect and violates their county's known policy. This shall be entertained at the discretion of the director. If the director is unsatisfied with the accused delegate's explanation, they may censure the delegate and invite a motion for a recount.
What is dividing the question?
Voting on each operative clause in a document separately
Voting on each preambulatory clause separately
Voting on each clause in a document separately
When a delegate asks a POI in two parts
If a motion to divide the question passes, each operative clause is voted on separately. This applies to amendments and draft resolutions.
What happens if you receive two motions of equal weight?
Use your discretion to decide which to address first
The committee must vote on which motion to address first
The delegate with the most pressing motion goes first
The delegates must battle it out to decide
In this circumstance, you may use your discretion to decide what to address first. Of course, this could include using any or all of the above options!
A delegate gives a 3 min speech with a min spare, and takes a POI. Who can they yield to?
Delegate on the speakers' list, giving them 4 + 1 minutes
Delegate off the speakers' list, giving them 1 minute
Delegate on the speakers' list, bumping them up the list
Delegate off the speakers' list, giving them 4 + 1 minutes
If a delegate has taken POIs, even if they have time remaining, they can only yield to a delegate on the speakers' list (or the director) and this delegate may only speak for their allocated time. This is because taking a POI essentially cancels out any remaining time a speaker has.
What is the correct order for opening session?
Right to statement or prayer, quorum, position statements
Quorum, right to statement or prayer, position statements
Quorum, position statements, right to statement or paryer
Position statements, right to statement or prayer, quorum
To open session you must first verify quorum. If this is fulfilled you may then allow rights to statement or proposals for prayer or meditation. Following this the committee moves to position statements, after which debate is officially open.
Under what circumstances can a speaker yield to a delegate off the speaker's list?
If they have time remaining and haven't taken any POIs
If they haven't taken any POIs
Speakers can yield at any time
Speakers can never yield to delegates off the speaker's list
Speakers must have time remaining and not taken any POIs in order to yield to a delegate not on the speakers' list. This is because the delegate can only speak for a speaker's remaining time, and if there is none left, there isn't anything to give. Taking POIs also uses up any remaining time and thus makes the yield impossible.
What happens when you divide the question for a draft resolution?
Each clause passed is incorporated into the draft resolution
Each passed clause is taken together and voted on as a whole
Sub-clauses are voted on separately
You cannot divide the question on a resolution
If the question is divided for a draft resolution, each clause that is passed shall be considered as part of the final draft resolution, which shall then be voted on in its entirety following normal procedure.
Who should speak first in a moderated caucus?
The delegate most relevant to the discussion
The proposer of the moderated caucus
The delegate who raises their placard first
It is at the discretion of the director
The proposer of the moderated caucus always has the right to speak first. After that, speakers are chosen at the discretion of the director.
What is the maximum number of speakers in a procedural debate?
6. Three speakers 'for' and three 'against' the motion
3. The motioner speaks, then 1 speaker 'for' and 'against'
2. 1 speaker 'for' and one 'against'
There is no maximum number of speakers
Up to three delegates can speak on either side of the debate. Although this maximum is usually only reached when discussing motions to close debate.
What is quorum for general committees?
Third of the registered voting delegates in a committee
Half of the registered delegates in a committee
Half the registered voting delegates in a committee
Third of the registered delegates in a committee
Quorum is half of the registered voting delegates in a committee. If quorum is not met at any time the committee cannot function. It is important to check that it is maintained.
Can a delegate appeal director's decision?
No, the director's decision is final
Yes, via a point of order
Yes, but only on substantive matters
No, although the co-director may appeal a decision
Exercises of the director's discretion may be appealed. To do this a delegate must call a point of order and request the appeal. Full details of this procedure are outlined in Rule 12 of the AMUNC ROP.
When you divide the question, do you also vote on sub-clauses separately?
Yes
Only for draft resolutions
Only for amendments
No
Because sub-clauses are considered to be integral to a specific clause, they are not divided or voted on separately.
What happens when you divide the question for an amendment?
Each clause passed is incorporated into the draft resolution
Each passed clause is taken together and voted on as a whole
Sub-clauses are voted on separately
You cannot divide the question on an amendment
When dividing the questions for amendments, each clause that is passed is incorporated directly into the draft resolution.
