Head Chair Introduction

Hi all!

My name is Ted Kim (he/him) and I am excited to be the Head Chair for BMUN 72's Korean Imperial Court! I'm a third year studying computer science here at Berkeley, and this will be my second year in BMUN. Academically, I'm interested in learning about how to make computers run fast, but that's enough computer science for this blog post. Besides the fact that I attended BMUN twice in high school, I think what attracts me to this amazing conference is the educational opportunities. I'm very interested in education, and I will always seize an opportunity to help others develop useful skills, whether it be coding or public speaking. Outside of BMUN, I enjoy hanging out with my friends absurdly late, playing video games, and watching YouTube.

Please feel free to reach out to us at koreabmun72@bmun.org if you have any questions or concerns! I and the rest of the dais are looking forward to an amazing three days of committee!

Best,

Ted Kim

Guess where I am :)



Dais bonding!

Vice Chair Introduction, Rafael Kaye-Lew

Hello everyone! My name is Rafael Kaye-Lew (he/him) and I am excited to be one your awesome Vice Chairs for BMUN 72's Korean Imperial Court! I am a junior studying political science and data science and this is my first year chairing for BMUN. I am interested in the intersection between technology and society, and am particularly fascinated by the rising influence of information systems in our day-to-day lives. What brought me to BMUN is its fantastic community and long standing history of supporting bright students in their curiosity about global affairs. International relations are so important, particularly right now, which is why it is so exciting to help guide young minds into becoming future leaders. Outside of school I enjoy hiking, cooking, and playing video games, especially Overwatch.  Looking forward to seeing you all in March! Best, Rafael

Procedure and Committee Flow

Hi Delegates!  I wanted to check in with you to provide some more insight to how our committee is going to work at BMUN 72. The Korean Imperial Court will be using standard crisis procedure.  We will begin with a perpetual moderated caucus with one minute speaking time per delegate. Delegates may wish to create a new motion (such as a motion for a round robin, or an opportunity for all delegates to speak for a set period of time about themselves and their goals for committee). When we are voting for new motions and all motions fail, we will default to a perpetual unmoderated caucus. Throughout committee sessions, delegates will collaborate to navigate the current situation in moderated and unmoderated caucuses. Delegates will submit directives, or solutions to address a certain issue in the current situation. Directives may be publicly submitted for all of committee to see and deliberate, or may be privately submitted to the dais to secretly advance your own personal agenda. C...

As a reminder, Korean Imperial Court will be using standard Position Paper format detailed in the Position Paper Overview page on the BMUN website . Besides the general format, we wanted to offer some tips on the research process and the formation of your paper.  Research The biggest favor you can do for yourself in the writing process is to really apply time and effort into understanding the topics beforehand.
