=== Flow of debate ===
Most MUN committees follow a flow of debate.<ref name=":7">{{Cite web|last=MUNprep|date=August 7, 2021|title=MUN Points and Motions - How to use them properly|url=https://munprep.org/mun-points-and-motions-how-to-use-them-properly/#flow-of-debate|access-date=August 19, 2021|website=MUNprep|archive-date=20 August 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210820041635/https://munprep.org/mun-points-and-motions-how-to-use-them-properly/#flow-of-debate|url-status=dead}}</ref> This starts with a speakers list, followed by formal/informal [[debate]] and then voting procedure. A Dais will maintain a list of speakers and the delegates follow the order written on the 'speaker list'. Delegates may be added to the speaker list by raising their [[placard]]s or sending a note to the chair. During this time, delegates talk to the entire committee. They make [[speech]]es,<ref name="MUN Speech">{{cite web|title=Write a Great MUN Speech|date=8 August 2019|url=https://www.wisemee.com/mun-speech-writing-guide/|access-date=24 November 2019|publisher=WiseMee}}</ref> answer questions, and debate on resolutions and amendments. If there are no other motions, the committee goes back to the speaker list by default.

Formal/Informal debate includes both moderated and unmoderated caucuses. [[Caucus]] is an opportunity to discuss policy ideas. A Moderated Caucus is more formal and is run by the committee chair, an Unmoderated caucus is a time where delegates move around the room and have a more informal discussion on the topic.<ref name=":7" /> In both moderated and unmoderated caucuses, the committee enters a recess and suspends its formal rules of procedure. During a moderated caucus, delegates may speak once recognized by the chair, and speeches are typically limited to a shorter duration. Entering a moderated caucus requires a motion followed by a vote. In contrast, an unmoderated caucus allows delegates to engage in informal discussions with other delegates and staff without needing recognition from the chair.<ref name="MUN Rules" /><ref name="MUN Manifesto">{{cite web |last=Shen |first=Sunny |author2=Ryan Bae |author3=Amanda Chen |author4=Geneva Nam |author5=Sarah Wang |author6=Marco Wong |author7=Lance Zhou |title=The MUN Manifesto |publisher=Connect Global Youth Association |year=2012 |url=http://project-connect.ca/resources/MUNManifesto.pdf |access-date=25 November 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131202232957/http://project-connect.ca/resources/MUNManifesto.pdf |archive-date=2 December 2013 |url-status=dead }}</ref>
