Pontonniers NCYMUN Delegates and Chairs

Over the next few days, I'm going to post some of your resolution papers - just to show you all how well you are doing (and also t give you a chance to learn from each others' strengths.. :-) NCYMUN NOVEMBER 2017 Resolution Paper Body :     Historical Security Council                                    Issue :     Resolution of the Suez Crisis                                  Submitted by : The Union of Socialist and Soviet Republics                           ...

Hello there, Our October holidays have begun, and so I have to encourage you to take the necessary time to draft your resolution paper . The key idea? Once you have the draft you email me a copy so I can see if you are on the right tracks. Remember, I have already written one blog entry on resolution papers at: http://pontoncymun.blogspot.fr/2017/10/resolution-paper.html The simple way to do it is to : a) copy and paste the following details onto a word document TWICE (one for each issue) b) save your 2 documents by their issue name c) fill in the following blanks! d) note - follow the italics by details of the main problems                follow the bold number 1) 2) 3)  by solutions e) remember you are NOT meant to write complete sentences, only clauses (see last blog entry ) f) feel free to change the order of the italicized words and then the bold words.. and you can use different words , just see the linked website for i...

Dear MUN delegates, As most of you are aware, I was unable to collect your 80 euro cheques last  Friday 20 October as the Rectorat had not yet had time to validate the voyage. There is nothing to worry about, in so far as that validation process will take place over the holidays (and all we need to buy are 16 train tickets to Nancy.. and the SNCF has reassured me this poses no problem). I will pay our inscription fees on November 7th. The New Plan then? Bring your 80 euro cheques to 2AP at midday, not at 7:45am. I need to sing the Marseillaise  at the Prefecture at 8.30am and so my timing is a little short ;-) I wouldn't want to be late, now would I ??  :-) More seriously, I need you to bring your 80euro cheques to room 07 at 12h (and, première students, if possible stay for the hour). I will then give you a package of documents for your parents to sign before we leave THE FOLLOWING MONDAY 13 NOVEMBER!! The Details? Monday 7 November, 2017 ...

Dear MUN delegates, It is now time for me to remind you that I need to collect your  80 euro cheques  this coming  Friday 20 October from 7:45-9am . I will be in  room 111  and you have to come and meet me there, with your cheque. Why? Following school regulations, I cannot collect money for a trip until 15 days after the Conseil d'administration (CA). Consequently, the first moment I can collect your cheques is this Friday 20 October. Can you see the problem? I need the cheques by 9am so that our school accountant can deposit the cheques before the holidays (our school accountant will leave the school by midday on Friday and before she leaves I need to give her all 15 cheques and organise the purchase of the train tickets. She will have a million things to do that morning and so I need to arrive at her office at 9am with all the cheques). Note: If you have an 8am class, please come before class . Dropping off the cheque will only t...

Resolution Papers Over the next few weeks, I will encourage you to write a resolution paper for each of your topics. You do NOT need to write a perfect paper... but you will use this document during Lobbying and any speech-making that you might do. Don't panic - and do email me if you need help! The key is that you have to use the words italics to open each clause. This makes the paper quite easy to write :-) Why should I prepare a resolution draft and what exactly is it? -->  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h-Elye6F8sY What are the different steps? -->  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oyoH6gZvgpg Example of Language (the information in bold and italics is essential.. but also makes creating this paper much simpler). Bearing in mind  that the « Rome Statute »  treaty was established on July, 17, 1998 by the International Criminal Court establishing four core international crimes: genocide, crimes ag...
