The GA meeting begins July 24 and concludes on July 25th.
The session will be followed by a “debriefing”
on July 26th. Goal of the General Assembly Session The General Assembly provides a forum for the presentation of
policy recommendations with respect to a) studio group topics; b) international
coordination; c) American foreign policy. Procedure of the General Assembly Participant groups in the General Assembly are charged with
adopting recommendations to most effectively, efficiently, and equitably
address insurgency and terrorism. Procedure: Group teams
have been formed representing important aspects of contemporary public policy
problems. The Secretary General of the Assembly convenes the meeting. The Secretary General calls upon the
various groups to present their policy proposals to the General Assembly, addressing
the most important policy issues and policy initiatives. Each group puts forward concrete proposals. The proposals must include not only
objectives but also proposed activities designed to achieve the objectives. Given that it is assumed the activities
will not be costless, the group should stipulate its preferences for
expenditures in activities in all areas covered by the group teams. This set of preferences will be tallied by
the Secretary General. Following standard parliamentary procedure (Robert’s Rules of
Order), the Secretary General shall call for a vote on the optimal formula
for addressing future challenges. The proposal selected by the General
Assembly is considered the winning proposal.
The group with the preference schedule closest to that of the winning
proposal is the winning team. Members
of this team win extra credit for their efforts. The outcome of the
deliberations will be discussed in the “debriefing session.” In addition, questions relating to the
General Assembly will be on the course final exam. |
