Conference

Slack

Messaging platform

Zoom

Video calling platform

Date

November 21-22, 2020

PACMUN 2020 will be using Slack servers integrated with Zoom to facilitate delegate debate and discussion. Slack is a messaging platform where delegates will be placed into committee-specific text channels to communicate with Staff members and other delegates in lieu of note-passing. Zoom is a video conferencing platform for audio and video calls, and Slack integration allows Staff and delegates to start video calls with the press of a button. Delegates will be invited to the Slack workspace prior to the conference after assignment of country position and payment of invoices.

Please note that Delegates must have the Zoom application downloaded before the conference in order to start Zoom meetings. More information regarding our virtual platforms, such as logistics and tutorials, will be available on our Resources page as the conference approaches!

Rosalind Wiseman

Keynote Speaker

From where we learn to where we work, Rosalind Wiseman fosters civil dialogue and inspires communities to build strength, courage and purpose. She is the founder of Cultures of Dignity; an organization that shifts the way communities think about our physical and emotional wellbeing by working in close partnership with the experts of those communities–young people, educators, policy makers, and business and political leaders. National media regularly depends on Wiseman’s expertise on ethical leadership, conflict, media literacy, youth culture, parenting, and bullying prevention. She has been profiled in The New York Times, People, Los Angeles Times, the Chicago Tribune, The Washington Post, and USA Today. Wiseman is a frequent guest on national media like The Today Show, CNN, and NPR affiliates throughout the country.

Technology Policy

Delegates will use the Slack Technologies platform (“Slack”) for messaging and coordinating video calls, as well as communicating with Staff. All conference-related communication shall be conducted through either an official PACMUN Slack Workspace or email. All delegates agree to abide by Slack’s User Terms of Service and Privacy Policy, which may be found at https://slack.com/legal. All Slack and Zoom invitation links are sent directly to Participants for their own personal use, and Participants agree to not disseminate, distribute, or otherwise share invitation links with any other Participant or person not involved in PACMUN to maintain the security of the conference. Participants who require an invitation link may contact the Staff or Secretariat for a replacement link.

Inappropriate messaging, any form of harassment, verbal abuse, bullying, and/or the distribution of explicit materials through conference channels (i.e. through either Zoom, official PACMUN Slack workspaces, or any additional correspondence pertaining to PACMUN) will result in the Secretariat being notified immediately and potential removal from committee.

Delegates are encouraged to collaborate on draft resolutions using online document sharing tools; however the Secretariat and Staff will not distribute delegates’ personal information to aid in this collaboration.
