Standard Gavel Taps:
- One Tap: Used to signal the passage or failure of a motion, to recognize a speaker, or to gently warn a speaker that their time has elapsed.
- Two Taps: Used to call the committee to order, usually when delegates are talking out of turn or when an unmoderated caucus has ended. "Decorum, delegates."
- Three Taps (Rare): Used only in situations of extreme disorder, or to officially open and close the entire conference weekend.
The Digital Advantage:
The physical gavel commands the physical room, but controlling the digital workspace is just as important. With the "Chair Screen Casting" feature on MUN-Key.com, Chairs can forcefully synchronize all delegate screens to display the active timer or motion, guaranteeing that when the gavel taps, every single delegate is looking exactly where they need to be. Now available on iOS and Android mobile apps as well as macOS and Windows desktop apps alongside the web platform, MUN-Key provides delegates and Secretariats with an all-in-one, zero-latency digital ecosystem to dominate debate from any device.
