Please note that the SSUNS 2025 technology policy has changed and will vary by committee size and format. As SSUNS will run as a hybrid conference, the policies for GAs, ECOSOCs, Specialized Agencies, and Crisis committees will differ.

Double-Delegate General Assemblies

Double-Delegate General Assemblies (FAO and UNHR) will operate as paperless committees, with Slack serving as the primary platform for communication between Dais and delegates.

• Delegates are allowed to use laptops and personal devices during committee sessions, both in-room and out-of-room.

• Despite this, delegates are expected to arrive fully prepared, with all research completed prior to the conference.

During moderated caucuses, devices must only be for note-passing via Slack.

Small General Assemblies, ECOSOCs, and Specialized Agencies

These committees will follow a tech-free format, with the exception of online draft writing.

• Notes must be passed physically, digital note-passing is not allowed.

• Laptops and personal devices must be put away during moderated caucuses, unless specific accommodations have been approved.

• Devices may be used only during unmoderated caucuses for drafting working papers or resolutions.

• Delegates should come prepared with printed copies of their research to minimize reliance on devices during sessions.

For Specialized Agencies, directives will be written by hand on paper.

Crises

• Delegates are required to use paper for all in-committee functions, including:

• Passing notes to fellow delegates

• Writing directives

• Sending crisis notes to the backroom

• To ensure consistency, delegates must use 8.5” x 11” notebooks or legal pads.

• In line with SSUNS’ sustainability commitment, notepads will not be provided.

• All Crisis delegates are expected to bring two notebooks or legal pads, as committees operate on a two-notepad system.
