seconds, and the speaker, speaks for 70 seconds then they need to utilise the left 20 seconds as well, for
which they have 3 options, first, YIELD TO EB, in this the delegate gives those 20 seconds to the executive
board, and they can utilise this time in any way they wish to.Second, YIELD TO ANOTHER DELEGATE, in this
delegate can give their remaining 20 seconds to a delegate of some other country, and then that delegate can
utilise that time to give their speech, but for this provision to be utilised the other delegate should be pre-
informed, third, YIELD TO POINTS OF INFORMATION, in this the delegate can open the floor for questions
pertaining to their speech, their country’s stance or country’s policies

Second, POINT OF PARLIAMENTARY ENQUIRY, if any delegate is having any procedural doubts, these can be
asked from the EB via this point

Executive Board, in the following format, “The delegate of XYZ country, would like to raise a Point of Order on
the Executive Board, the Executive Board did ___________(wrong thing), whereas this should have been done
___________(right thing)”. Second, Point of Order on a factual inaccuracy, for example a delegate quotes
