QMUN 2.0 Deliverables

A Deliverable is similar in format to an editorial in which the delegate reports what goes on in each committee with some added opinion (as to emulate the voice of the Corporation being represented). The main idea is to create an article that shows anyone who had not participated in the committee what was going on.

Deliverables are also a great way to document the conference! As an impartial document, it discusses every point of view of the committee and goes in depth as to what issues/crisis were most important to the committee. This is something that many resolutions/crisis directives cannot do.

Delegates are encouraged to write as many Deliverables as they can within the session, but are only required to write one. Creativity is heavily encouraged with these Deliverables. Some delegates go the extra mile and leave committee to film a video/news segment. Many others collect data and conduct polls to include as visuals on their Deliverables. However they choose to complete them, the most important part is that the Deliverables accurately represent the committee.

In today's world, the majority of the world population lives in moderate to extremely strict societies in terms of censorship. Some of the worst perpetrators include North Korea, Eritrea, China, Vietnam, and Sudan. In these countries, Free Press is so limited that many citizens are unaware of what is happening around the world, and even in their own region. This means leaders are making decisions for their people that may not represent the majority beliefs or needs.

Several corporations exist to combat this issue, including Reporters Without Borders. You can visit their site here. The intention is to ensure that everyone, regardless of what country they were born in, has access to information.

The IPC's Deliverables are a representation of this type of work. Every delegate that attends QMUN had access to the work that the IPC delegates have created. Regardless of what committee one may have been placed in, they can keep up with the whole conference.

The difference between a Resolution and Deliverable is the intention. Resolutions and Crisis Directives are passed to respond to an issue. Deliverables differ in the sense that they are written with the intention of providing an overview of the committee. They may address the issues and resolutions, but the primary goal is to sum up their experience in committee.

Because IPC delegates cannot give speeches during moderated caucus or make any motions, they do not participate much differently than other delegates. This is reflected in the work they produce. IPC is much less debate-driven and much more writing-based.
