HOW TO PREPARE OFFICIAL NOTEPAPER During debating time, conversation between delegates is not allowed. You should focus your attention on the different interventions within the House. You should also be well ready to intervene in the debate at any times. However, it is instrumental that you should remain, during this period, in contact with your fellow delegates in order to establish a common strategy. The notepaper is the perfect way to communicate. On your notepaper, write the delegation name of your addressee. Write in English, and English only, what you want to say to the other delegate. Then raise your hand with the notepaper. A member of the Admin Staff will take your note and bring it to your addressee .
