During this meeting, sponsorship was discussed and the each member made clear what progress had been made. Although some had found companies agreeing to sponsor us, overall there had been little development, and it was stressed that we needed to make progress soon. In the previous week i had approached Unilever and received confirmation from them, i had just needed to relay the information about the sponsorship packages to them.
The council's finalized their mandates and gave them in. ECOSOC's mandate and structure had little change from last year. However i felt that we should try and improve it further. I suggested that it work with more current affairs and try to get the delegates to work with data and information from events happening at the very moment they are having the conference. For example having Stock Market Ratings and Government Budget Info available to them during the conference and having topics closely related to the info. Although i think this would spice up the conference, it does pose some problems. First is actually getting the data, secondly it is very technical and new delegates might find it difficult to get involved with the debates, though all the technical stuff could be taught during the workshops and practice debates.
The President and Vice-president of the International Court of Justice had a few problems with finalizing the procedure of their conference since it is a new committee and therefore needs to be planned out properly. It is also the most technical committee and works quite differently from the others. Some agreements were made on it but there were still a few things to be settled so an extra meeting was scheduled on Monday for to Specifically discuss the ICJ. On a separate note, i suggested that we get actors to play the defendants and witnesses during the conference in ICJ just to make it a bit more interesting, i also volunteered to play a war criminal.
