Lynn Model United Nations

'morning Glopo (and other) folks, 

Our first Model UN, LUMUN (Lynn University Model United Nations) is roughly a month a way! Please see the official delegation roster at the end of this post. I've listed everyone according to request and/or the availability of countries for NB. Based on this roster, we have 18 additional spots in our existing delegations. If you are not already signed up and are interested in attending this year's LUMUN, please reply to this post no later than Sunday 20 October 2013. 

Now, on to the details. Please make plans to meet as a delegation sometime this week. Again, I will be out of school presenting at conferences from Monday the 21st through Saturday the 26th of October. I would like to meet as a collective group after school in room 101 on Monday 28 October at 4pm. At that meeting, we will set the calendar for subsequent meetings at that point as well as distribute permission slips for the event. Future meetings will cover the topics of speechmaking and resolution writing.

In terms of preparation; we have a generalized program of research and documentation that have served NB students well over the years. The complete set of documents can be found here. In broad strokes, this plan allows you a means of researching your country and topics, as well as to prepare your position papers and speeches on our topics. In advance of our meeting on the 28th, please complete the following:
