19. Point of Order
A point of order is used when a member wishes to draw attention to a possible procedural error made by a member or the Chair. This point must be raised at the time of the incident, and the Chair must rule immediately on the matter. In explaining the point of order, a delegate may only speak about the possible violation of procedure and not about the topic at hand. A point of order may only interrupt a speaker when the point directly concerns the speech or the speaker.

20. Point of Personal Privilege
If a delegate wishes to raise a question or make a request relating to the organization of the meeting, personal comfort, or the conduct of fellow delegates or staff, the delegate may rise to a point of personal privilege. This point may only interrupt a speaker if it relates directly to the speech at hand.

21. Point of Inquiry
A point of inquiry can take two forms. A point of parliamentary inquiry, also known as a point of inquiry to the Chair, is a question to the Chair regarding these rules and their application. Such a point may not be used to interrupt a speaker. A point of inquiry to the speaker is a substantive question directed to another delegate. This form of the point of inquiry is only in order during a substantive speech after the delegate who holds the floor has yielded to questions, or during a suspension of the rules following the introduction of a resolution.

22. Right of Reply
A delegate who feels their personal or national integrity has been offended by another delegate in a manner that is clearly insulting to their personal or national dignity may request a right of reply by sending a note to the dais, explaining the nature of the offense in detail. After the note has been read and approved by the dais, the delegate making the request must move for a right of reply. One may not interrupt a speaker to request a right of reply. A delegate desiring the right of reply during a moderated caucus must wait until between speakers to request it. If the right of reply is granted, the time remaining in the caucus is paused. The Chair’s decision whether to grant a right of reply is not subject to appeal. A delegate granted the right of reply shall have the opportunity to address the group with a time limit set at the Chair’s discretion. Such a speech may deal only with the context of the offenses in the previous speech, and the only yield in order shall be a yield to the Chair. Delegates will not be granted a right of reply in response to the right of reply.

23. Limit or Extend Debate
A member may, at any time while debate is progressing on a speakers’ list, make a motion to limit or extend debate. A limit can be made in the form of a number of speakers, in which case, debate on the item at hand ceases after the last speaker provided for by the limit finishes speaking. For example, if debate is limited to five more speakers, the fifth delegate to speak after the limit is passed shall be the last. A limit can also be made in the form of a set length of time. In this case, after the time period has passed, debate will end as soon as the speaker currently occupying the floor completes their speech. A motion to extend debate can be made in the same fashion, and can also be made indefinite, which returns debate to its original condition and permits it to continue until the close of the conference. This motion requires a majority vote, and requires a speaker in favor and a speaker opposed.

24. Appeal Decision of the Chair
The Chair’s decision on procedural matters, when made as a matter of discretion and not as a clear enforcement of these rules, may be appealed by any member. The appealing member is recognized to speak in favor of overturning the decision, and then the Chair will briefly respond by explaining the decision. The Chair shall then pose the question to the committee as follows: “Shall the decision of the Chair be overruled?” A “yes” vote of two-thirds overturns the Chair’s decision. The final authority in disputed cases shall be the Secretary-General, who has the power to overturn any appeal or decision.

25. Motion to Recess
A member may make a Motion to Recess, suspending the session with the intent to reconvene at a later date or time. The motion is subject to the Chair’s approval, and the Chair’s ruling is not open to appeal. The motion requires a simple majority to pass.

26. Motion for Unmoderated Caucus
Provided that the floor is open, a member may make a motion to temporarily suspend committee proceedings with an unmoderated caucus. During an unmoderated caucus, delegates are free to leave their seats and caucus with other delegations. The delegate making the motion must specify the length and purpose of the caucus. Unmoderated caucuses are often, but not necessarily, utilized for the purpose of drafting resolutions and amendments. The time limit is subject to the Chair’s approval, and shall not exceed twenty minutes. This motion requires a simple majority to pass.

27. Motion for Moderated Caucus
Provided that the floor is open, a member may make a motion to depart from the speakers’ list and have the Chair call on countries at their discretion. The member making the motion shall suggest a purpose for such a caucus, a time limit for speeches and a total time for the moderated caucus. The topic for a moderated caucus must be a more specific subsidiary topic of the topic currently at hand on the speakers’ list. This motion requires a simple majority to pass. No yields shall be accepted at the end of speeches during a moderated caucus.

28. Multiple Motions
When presented with multiple motions, the committee shall adhere to the order of precedence, and vote on them in that order. When there are two or more motions of the same precedence on the floor, they will be voted on in order of most destructive to least destructive to the proceedings of the committee.
