About GMUNCchevron_right
GMUNC XI will take place at Henry M. Gunn High School on October 19, 2024. It is a smaller event geared towards preparation for local collegiate-run conferences. We offer a variety of different committees including general assemblies and crisis committees. Please be mindful that not all delegates are at are the same level of experience, so we ask that you be respectful and helpful to all delegates. Our campus map can be found here.

Position Paper Requirements
Position papers are required of all delegates that wish to be
considered for committee or research awards. Any delegations
requesting special accommodations must do so by sending an email to
the committee-specific address (found on the committees page and in
the respective background guides).
Position papers must adhere to the following guidelines:
- Times New Roman 12pt font, double-spaced
- 1 inch margins on all sides
- Delegate country/individual, committee name, School Name, and the
text "GMUNC XI" must be present in the header
- Please do not include personal identifiable information (including
actual names) in the paper - given the close proximity of attending
schools as well as the presence of Gunn delegates, anonymity is
paramount to ensure impartiality
- Citations following MLA/APA guidelines are required for all
information that is not common knowledge
- Papers must be submitted in PDF format
Position papers should follow this format or similar: topic
background, past UN action, country policy, proposed solutions, and
citations. Please do not feel the need to necessarily fill up three
pages. Papers will be evaluated on the grounds of quality rather than
empirical length. Double delegations should only submit
one paper across both delegates. An example position paper can
be found
here, and a position paper template can be found here.
Please submit your position paper to your committee's email address
which will be included in the committee background guide and in the
committees section of this website.
When submitting a position paper, please title the email as
"[Delegate Name] Position Paper Submission". If titled differently,
keep in mind that the submission may be disregarded and not
considered for any award.
The deadline for the position papers is October 12. Any
submission before the due date is eligible for all awards given out by
the conference. October 18 is the deadline for position papers
in order to be considered for all committee awards except for
research awards.
