be taken by your committee. All delegations meeting the following
criteria will be judged by the same method and equally considered for
position paper awards. All
papers must be typed and formatted according to the example in the
background guides (following the specifications below will ensure this).
• Length must not exceed one double-sided page (two single-sided pages is not acceptable)
• Font must be Times New Roman sized between 10 pt. and 12 pt.
• Country/NGO name, School name and committee name clearly labeled on the first page

Directions for Submitting Your Position Paper
Two copies of each position paper should be sent via e-mail by 7 November.
1. TO COMMITTEE STAFF
A file of the position paper (.doc or .pdf) for each
assigned committee should be sent to the committee e-mail address
listed below. Mail papers by 7 November to the e-mail
address listed for your particular venue. Delegates should carbon copy
(cc:) themselves as confirmation of receipt. Please put committee and
assignment in the subject line (Example: ECOSOC_Armenia).
General Assembly Plenary
| ga@nwmun.org | Economic and Social Council
| ecosoc@nwmun.org | Human Rights Council
| hrc@nwmun.org | Security Council
| sc@nwmun.org | Reformed Security Council
| rsc@nwmun.org | | |
2. TO SECRETARY-GENERAL
• Each delegation should send one set of all
position papers for each assignment to positionpapers@nwmun.org. This
set (held by the Secretary-General) will serve as a back-up copy in case
individual committee directors cannot open attachments.
Note: This e-mail should only be used as a repository for position papers.
• The head delegate or faculty member sending this
message should cc: him/herself as confirmation of receipt. (Free
programs like Adobe Acrobat or WinZip may need to be used to compress
files if they are not plain text.)
• Because of the potential volume of e-mail, only
one e-mail from the Head Delegate or Faculty Advisor containing all
attached position papers will be accepted.
Please put committee, assignment and
delegation name in the subject line (Example: Cuba_U_of_ABC). If you
have any questions, please contact sg@nwmun.org.
