What is the policy on note passing?
Passing notes in committee is a privilege given out at the Dais’ discretion. Delegates may silently pass appropriate notes to other delegates in order to form alliances, ask questions, etc. during otherwise structured debate. However, if any delegate is found misusing this privilege, chairs are advised to permanently take away the ability to pass notes.

What is the policy for pre-written resolution papers?
Pre-writing is when a delegate takes time before/outside of committee sessions to write clauses for working papers and resolutions. Delegates found working on pre-written resolution papers will be removed from awards consideration.
