MUN Chairing Guide

Top Tips for Chairs:

  1. Be Transparent: If you make a mistake, admit it, correct it, and move on.
  2. Encourage the Quiet Delegates: If the same three power-delegates are monopolizing the floor, use your discretion to call on member states who haven't spoken yet.
  3. Stay Neutral: Never inject your personal opinion into the debate or show favoritism toward specific working papers.
  4. Protect the Flow: If an unmoderated caucus is failing, use a motion to return to formal debate to get the committee back on track.
