RULE # 21: SPEAKERS’ LIST
The Committee shall at all times have the General Speakers’ List for the Topic Area being discussed. The speaking time will be automatically set at one minute unless a motion is raised to change it. When a delegate exceeds his or her allotted time, the Chair may call the speaker to order. Secondary Speakers’ Lists will be established as set out in these Rules. The Chair may at any time call for members that wish to be added to the Speakers’ List. No delegate may address a session without the permission of the Chair. Delegates are required to make all speeches from the third person perspective. There can be no speeches made from the first person.
RULE # 22: YIELDS
A delegate granted the right to speak on must yield in one of three ways: to another delegate, to questions, or to the Chair.
• Yield to another delegate: The remaining time is offered to that delegate. If the delegate accepts the yield, the Chair will recognize the delegate.
• Yield to questions: Questioners are selected by the Chair and limited to one question each.
• Yield to the chair: The remaining time is absorbed by the Dais.
Only one yield is allowed per speech. A delegate must declare any yield by the conclusion of his or her speech.
