What are caucuses?
Caucuses are sessions where delegates engage in informal discussions and negotiations to address the topics at hand. Caucuses are divided into two types: moderated and unmoderated, and they serve to foster more dynamic debate than the formal sessions.
During moderated caucus sessions, delegates raise their placards and wait to be recognized by the Secretariat before providing a brief comment, asking a question of another delegation, or responding to another delegation’s question or comment.
During unmoderated caucus sessions, delegates can leave their seats to informally speak with each other and discuss issues and resolutions and attempt to gain/dissuade support. These discussions are monitored by teachers and the Secretariat and must be limited to conference business only.
