Introducing Vice Chair Eric Wang

Hey all!

My name is Eric Wang and I'm excited to be one of your vice chairs for BMUN 70. I'm a junior studying Computer Science here at Berkeley. As a Bay Area native I competed here at BMUN in high school. Outside of Model UN, I'm conducting research on operator interfaces for unmanned aerial vehicles, learning how to ballroom dance, and am an avid board game player. Also, I'm always on the hunt for good movies and TV shows so please drop some in the comments below.

See you at conference!

Procedure Guides, Flow of Committee, and Expectations of Crisis

 Hello again delegates! As conference approaches, I'd like to discuss a little bit our committees procedure and our expectations for how committee will flow and how you will engage with it. Procedure  Our committee(s) will use standard BMUN crisis procedure. From our collective experience as chairs, we believe that this procedure is the best method to promote thoughtful debate while also enabling the dynamic nature of crisis committees. This procedure also lends itself to our committees in that delegates will be representing members of a sort of cabinet or alliance that must discuss and debate on what  collective actions to take as a united front while also getting regular updates to the situation of Spain.  For those of you not familiar with BMUN or any crisis procedure, I'll give a brief overview here. Crisis committees at BMUN use similar procedures to General Assembly committees with some key differences. We will facilitate discussion in committee with moderated ...

Head Chair Introduction: Alex Plewinski

 Hey delegates, welcome to the BMUN LXX JCC Blog! My name is Alex Plewinski and I'm going to be your head chair for our joint crisis committee on the Spanish Civil War. I'm super excited to see what you guys do with this interesting, complex, and chaotic topic in committee this year. A little about me: I'm from Miami, Florida and this is my second year in BMUN and in Berkeley. I'm really loving California so far, particularly for the great weather, geography, and people. I'm studying mechanical engineering, which has been something I've been interested since my freshman year of highschool. My interest in engineering hasn't prevented me from also pursuing my interest in global affairs and politics. I started MUN as a way to keep myself learning and thinking about these kinds of important topics and I quickly fell in love with it.  This will be my first time as a head chair of a committee and I hope that you all enjoy the topic and committee, the vice chairs a...

Suggestions for solutions

Hello Delegates, In this blogpost, I will be discussing some general suggestions towards solutions you can implement in your respective committees. Looking at your position papers, it seems you are all already on the right track and have done some great research to inform your proposed solutions, so I'd just like to highlight some things to give you an idea of what the dais hopes you address or show consideration towards in your in-committee solutions and actions. One thing to note is that for all solutions and directives, we are looking for them to be Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, and Time-oriented (SMART). Military/War Solutions This committee consists of two cabinets of politicians, military personnel, and important Spanish figures brought together for the main purpose of taking action in what will go down as one of the most important European conflicts of the 20th century. As such, this committee is quite easy to become solely a military game with both cabinets ch...
