<aside> 💡 Tip: Use the points wisely - you’ll find yourself much comfortable during debate!

</aside>

Point of Personal Privilege

This point refers to the comfort and wellbeing of a delegate. It is not a point that is debatable and doesn’t require any other delegate to second it.

However, you must be aware that:

• When it is a point of personal privilege due to audibility, it may then only interrupt the speaker
• It cannot refer to the content of a speaker’s statement

Point of Order

This point refers to the rules of procedure. A Point of Order is called if a delegate doesn’t agree to a decision/ruling made by the chair. It can refer to a current decision made by the chair or to a general procedural matter. It isn’t debatable and it can’t interrupt the speaker.

<aside> 🚨 When a chair makes a mistake in terms of procedure/rules, use this point to correct their mistake.

</aside>

Point of Information to the Speaker (POI)

POI to the speaker is a question directed to the delegate who has the floor about their delegation’s views or about the speech.

There are some common mistakes made by the delegates when using this point - thus, you must be aware that:

• It is a question to the speaker, not a comment!!
• Delegates must remain standing as a mark of respect

If you want to get some information on the topic across to the house, you can do so by formulating it as a question “Is the delegate aware that...” or “Does the delegate agree that...”.

<aside> 🚨 Do not ask another question to the delegate unless the chair has allowed you to (request of follow up) as there is no direct dialogue between delegates

</aside>

Point of Information to the chair (POI to the chair)

This POI is directed to the chair. It can refer to anything that doesn’t pertain to the Rules of Procedure or to Personal Privileges.
