Hello fellow participants of BEIMUN! My name is Akihiro Matsukawa, and I have the pleasure of serving as the Webmaster for BEIMUN XVI. This year, we have substituted our traditional web forum with this Wikispace in the hope that it will serve as a better portal for information exchange between delegates, press, and student officers. It is strongly recommended that you make full use of the flexibility that a Wiki can offer, by sharing links, videos, resolutions, and much more.

However, before we begin to make use of this excelent tool, I must say a few reminders on an important topic - courtesy. The success of this Wiki depends on your respect for other participants. Once you become a member, you will be able to edit any of the pages in this Wikispace. In making your contribution to these pages, please remember to value the contributions that others have made. Do not delete or change any posts of another participant without their prior permission. If you wish to contact another participant through Wikispace, this can be achieved through the mailing function. As a word of caution, //any inappropriate changes made to this Wikispace is entirely traceable to the individual.//

In order for us to efficiently manage the members of this Wiki, we ask that you create new accounts that follow the naming convention designated below, even if you already own a separate Wikispace account.

Examples:

Welcome to BEIMUN XVI!

My name is Edward Li and I am currently a senior at the International School of Beijing. This will be my fourth and final year at BEIMUN and it is my pleasure to have the opportunity to serve as the Secretary-General for BEIMUN XVI.

BEIMUN provides a unique MUN experience as the size provides delegates with ample opportunities to speak while the debate quality is that of a large conference. This year, the theme of the conference is Food Security and delegates in the Special Conference will be tackling issues involving the provision of food around the world. Another highlight of this year's conference is the Advisory Panel which will be addressing the various issues surrounding the question of Palestine. Although each of the forums has a different debate experience, they all share the same spirit of diplomacy and high quality of debate.

Through my years of MUN experience, I have found that the quality of the conference relies primarily on the hard work and effort of the delegates. And so to the delegates I give this advice: research well, lobby for your resolution, debate for your country, and work together to come up with solutions for world issues. But, remember, that in the spirit of MUN, this is a conference to cooperate, make friends, and have fun.

See you in March!

All the best,

Edward Li Secretary-General BEIMUN XVI
