Are you a leader? An aspiring lawyer? Actor in the making? A future Diplomat, Politician, Government Representative or NGO founder? Are you passionate about International Relations and diplomacy? Curious about how political gridlocks are solved? Are you an aspiring environmental activist? An aspiring human rights activist? Are you a future UN Secretary General?

If you answered yes to the latter questions then you should apply, if not then you should apply because there are many more questions that we need your answers to in becoming the OMUN we envision ourselves to become.

About OMUN

OMUN is the first Online Model United Nations (OMUN) Organisation in the world. Online Model United Nations is a global education program designed to break down cost barriers to allow students around the world to engage in a dialogue about international affairs. OMUN does this through a simulation of the United Nations, commonly referred to as a MUN. This will usually consist of a topic (such as the Question of the Protection of Vulnerable Citizens in the Syrian-Turkish Border), and delegates will be required to debate the topic and come up with solutions in the traditional MUN format adjusted to an online setting.

The origins of OMUN began in 2010, with the program formally launching in 2011. In the beginning, the program was one debate every month in a general assembly. This eventually grew into the program that we have today. We have a vibrant online opinion section, up to 3 debates a month, workshops, International Affairs Dialogues and innovative debate styles and topics not seen anywhere in the world. Whether you need more practice before a conference or want to engage in something innovative, OMUN has it all.

OMUN also supports, promotes and implements the sustainable development goals (SDGs). We believe the youth are the foot soldiers of the SDGs and through our various partnerships with other NGOs and NPOs we are committed to assisting schools and organisations in implementing their own SDG projects to positively impact their communities by supporting SDGs.

OMUN firmly believes in giving everyone a voice, regardless of where they are from and their beliefs. With that, we respect each other's opinions and learn to debate with one another on an issue or topic constructively. OMUN also believes in open access to all, hence why our platform is free. OMUN is an equal opportunity employer and does not decide positions based on race, location, gender, religion or sexual preferences.

OMUN has volunteer staff members on 5 continents.

OMUN proudly uses THIMUN rules of procedure that are modified for use online. We believe that THIMUN allows for the greatest flow in debate compared to other rules of procedure and that it is the most adaptable to the online universe. Furthermore, we believe that THIMUN rules of procedure are easier to learn. We expect our ELT to have some knowledge about how THIMUN rules of procedure work over the course of their time in our ELT.

Benefits of OMUN

Our delegates and executive leadership team members have been lucky enough to hone their skills at OMUN and propel them for college and their future careers. Our ELT members have gone on to universities including Harvard, University of Pennsylvania, Stanford, New York University, The London School of Economics & The University of Edinburgh. All of whom rank within the Times Higher Education Top 50 universities in the world. We have a habit of hiring the best students from all across the world to be members of our ELT.

We also create an environment for our executive members to academically challenge themselves. From writing designing training workshops to train Afghan students, to drafting grant proposals for major donors organisations as well as drafting portions of board reports, creating education guides and making your opinions heard on crucial topics, OMUN makes sure that you are working with the best to expand yourself.

For students in the IB program or who are considering completing an IB, being a leader within OMUN can count towards your CAS hours.

Furthermore, we give opportunities that no other major program can provide. From being part of recognised delegations at conferences to writing code for our website to creating video content that has been used around the world and even presented at the UNODC Headquarters in Vienna, OMUN is a program that allows you always to be challenged and broaden your horizons.

We expect all of our leaders to give it their best efforts to fulfill their duties and innovate our program to push it forward, while providing a worldwide network of resources to help you. Our leadership structure allows anyone to communicate freely across our organisation design that believes everyone has something beneficial to contribute

What is the Executive Leadership Team?The Executive Leadership Team (ELT) is the core group of talented student leaders within the OMUN community. Without the student volunteers in the ELT, OMUN would not exist. The general duties of the ELT are to conduct the preparation of debate, conduct outreach to attract new delegates to the OMUN community and develop long-term programs to innovate OMUN as it grows and diversifies.

The ELT is made up of four positions. The Directors General (DG’s) who lead the organisation, the Secretaries General (SG’s) serve as co-leaders of the ELT and oversees the functions of the team and assists where necessary. The SG also liaises with the Deputy Secretary Generals (DSG’s) for debates and other projects. The Deputy Secretary-General's (DSG's) work with a team to develop debate solutions as well as improving the program in their respective project. Finally, the officers are there to assist in the DSG with the development of their project.

Requirements

Who they report to

The DSGs of debates will report directly to the Secretary-General. They will indirectly report to the Director General.

DSG of International Affairs Dialogue Debates

The International Affairs Dialogue (IAD) is quite different from other debates that are run in both OMUN. The International Affairs Dialogue (IAD) is an initiative to encourage a spirit of global patriotism and intercultural understanding among delegates from across the globe through OMUN's online platform. Unlike traditional OMUN or MUN debates entailing strict parliamentary procedures, the IAD allows greater freedom for delegates to exchange ideas, while also providing the Chair with an opportunity to question delegates on their understanding of the

10

Page 11: MUN Impact ONLINE MODEL UNITED NATIONS LEADERSHIP … · 2020-05-03 · Online Model United Nations is a global education program designed to break down cost barriers to allow students

matter to gain a broad range of perspectives to then develop better strategies to tackle the issue at hand.

The IAD takes place a few days before the independence day of the country whose socioeconomic or political issues are debated on (e.g.: The Question of Sri Lanka: Promoting Ethnic Tolerance and National Stability). On the country's independence day, the debate findings/overall experience are summarised and published in the THIMUN blogs after review. A communiqué is used instead of a resolution, consisting of clauses describing the issues faced by the country in question, its goals/long-term ideals, along with sub-points for each clause stating strategies whereby those issues could be cost-efficiently and practically alleviated on a small or large scale. Amendments to improve these strategies should be encouraged throughout the debate, similar to procedures in a regular debate. The communiqué must be main-submitted by native delegates from the country in question, and the respective DSG or other supervising ELT member must work alongside them to ensure that the quality of work is acceptable and up to the standard. Each speaker will be allotted equal speaking times, but the main-submitting individual(s) from the country in question will be assigned greater presentation/opening speech times to best explain their country's social, economic, cultural and political struggles from a personal viewpoint.

Finally, the delegates will not be assigned countries to represent as they do in regular MUN debates, but they will instead debate as individuals presenting their personal viewpoints to encourage greater discussion as a result of lowered formality. This role is perfect for someone who has a strong sense of global justice or knowledge about the world's affairs.

DSG IAD Specific DutiesThe DSG of IAD will be responsible for the following;

● Find an appropriate national holiday and determine a topic based on said national holiday

● Find community members from the country (if none available, region) to lead the debate● Work with the workshops team to develop a content workshop before the debate● Collaborate with the marketing team to develop press content before and after the

debate● Work with the officers to make tally sheets. ● Holistically look at the debate and see where improvements can be made to their

debates● Assist the officers in the development of briefing papers and care packages● Attending their respective debates

Requirements

To apply for this role, you must have the following:● Have a strong knowledge of global affairs and issues of importance in developing and

less developed nations.● Be willing to become an OMUN chair if not already so.● Have previous leadership experience in the community, preferably within OMUN

11

All interviews will occur between the 4th and the 24th of May. All candidates will be given a list of times for which an interview may occur, and the selection of times is first come, first serve. All candidates need to be online on Skype 15 minutes prior to interview

A few days after all interviews, you will receive an email notice of the success or otherwise of your application. A zoom call will inform all Secretaries-General candidates. All other candidates will be notified by email.

In some circumstances, an offer may be made for a position that you did not prefer. If this is the case, reasons will be given as to why the selection panel thought that you would be best for that position, and give you time to accept or reject the offer.

All unsuccessful candidates at any stage may request feedback on their application and interview.

The ELT will be announced on the OMUN Website and the OMUN Facebook page on 24th of May at 10:00UTC. All candidates must also keep this date free for the first meeting of the new executive leadership team at a time that will be voted for by the ELT on the first Saturday of June. All successful candidates who have not done an OMUN debate will further be required to participate in a debate in June or July.

Any questions may be sent to Marwan Al Lamki , who can be contacted at [email protected]
