Tech
CSSMUN prohibits the use of electronic devices while committee is in session for all commitees.
Committee Attendance
Delegates are expected to arrive on time for every session . Should a delegate need to be absent during any part of the conference, their faculty advisor must relay this to the CSSMUN Leadership. Delegates may not visit friends in other committees or leave their committee during unmoderated caucuses.
Prewritten Documents
Pre-written documents before the first committee session, such as working papers, draft resolutions, press releases, directives, and crisis notes are strictly prohibited and could result in disqualification from the awards process.
Position Papers
Position Papers are RECOMMENDED in order to be eligible to win awards. Position papers can be submitted through an email to both chairs listed. Feedback will not be given on position papers unless it is requested.
Guidelines:
- Position papers should cover the issues at hand from the perspective of delegates’ assigned country/position, noting any significant stances or past actions relating to the topic(s). Additionally, delegates should discuss any solutions/ideas they plan to propose during the committee sessions.
- Papers should be around 1-page single spaced in 12pt Times New Roman with 1 inch margins
- Referenced works must be listed at the end of all position papers, formatted in Chicago style. Delegates found to have plagiarized any part of their position paper will be disqualified from the awards process and have their faculty advisors notified.
