模联基本会议流程主要流程点名RollCall正式辩论FormalDebate确定议题SettingtheAgenda产生发言名单OpeningtheSpeakers’List发言SpeakinginaccordancetoSpeakers’List问题和动议PointsandMotions文件写作与递交WritingandSubmissionofDocuments辩论结束ClosureofDebate投票表决VotingtheResolution以上六点的顺序也基本是一般会议进行的顺序，其中正式辩论和非正式辩论交叉进行，投票表决是针对决议草案（DraftResolution）进行的投票。
整个会议的核心是正式辩论和非正式辩论，会议的重中之重则是最后的投票表决。
一、主席团介绍主席：秩序的领导者和控制者，负责制定发言顺序和控制会议推进速度。
副主席：轮换主席的人选，负责帮助主席控制发言人时间和提供建议。
助理：负责点名和清点会场人数，同时负责会议的发言记录。
会议指导：负责所有文件的审阅和核批，同时对于会场中的规则性问题具有最高解释权。
二、点名RollCall为了了解会场国家出席情况和确定简单多数和2/3多数，各会场需要在大会开始前以及每次中断后重新开始前和投票前都进行点名。
当会议助理按照字母顺序报出国家名时，代表需要举牌示意并回答“到（present）”。
最后一个国家示意完毕后助理会宣布出席国家数、简单多数（过半数）和绝对多数（过2/3），此部分即告结束。
三、确定议题SettingtheAgenda当会场中存在两个或更多议题时，主席随机点出支持讨论各议题的代表各3名，按不同议题支持者各一的次序进行轮换陈述。
每位代表各自陈述时间90秒，阐述选择先讨论议题的原因、动机等。
随即主席要求全场各位代表投票决定议题，当某一议题简单多数通过时，此部分即告结束。
四、发言及让渡时间SpeechesandYield1.发言代表们确定议题之后，正是辩论开始，主席将打开发言名单，即围绕中心议题而进行讨论的国家名单，初始时间设定为2分钟。
阅读材料（1）模拟联合国会议规则流程点名Roll Call在这一环节中，委员会主席团的成员会将该委员会中出席国家的名字一一点出，顺序是按照国家英文名字首字母的序列。
被点到的国家代表要举起国家牌（placard），并回答：“到（Present）。
”不要小看了点名这一环节，它不仅能让主席团成员了解哪些代表国到场，还能算出在这一节（Session）的会议中，进行投票（Vote）时所需要的简单多数（Simple Majority）和三分之二多数（Two-Thirds Majority）分别要达到多少代表国。
因此点名是每一节会议开始的时候都必须进行的一个环节。
而准时出席每一节的会议，对于代表来说也是必须做到的，这是对于委员会、主席和其他代表的尊重。
确定议题Setting the Agenda当一个委员会的议题多于一个（Multiple TopicAreas）的时候，代表们通过讨论投票，确定出首先讨论的议题。
议题一经确定，则在通过该议题的决议之前，代表们讨论的内容只能在这一议题范围内。
我们以通常情况——两个议题为例，来看这一环节是如何进行讨论和投票的。
Step 1: 一名代表动议（Motion）先讨论议题A / B。
Step 2: 主席确认对于该动议，是否同时存在赞成（Second / in Favour of）和反对（Against）意见。
如果无赞成则直接进入对议题B / A的讨论，如果无反对则直接进入对议题A / B的讨论，但通常这样的情况较少发生。
Step 3: 如果委员会中对于动议同时存在赞成和反对意见的，那么主席将从赞成和反对的双方分别随机点出若干名代表进行交替或连续发言（发言的代表人数根据不同会议不同委员会而异，通常为2-3人，也可以由主席根据辩论情况酌情规定人数。
）Step 4: 在关于该动议的辩论结束之后，进行投票。
该动议的通过需要简单多数代表的同意，这样就进入对议题A的正式辩论；如果该动议未得到通过，那么直接进入对议题B的讨论，无需再进行辩论。
