Dear Delegates,

Welcome to the committees homepage. Here you will find resources you need to prepare for your specific committees. In addition to background guides to help you research committee debate topics, we plan on implementing a variety of approaches to allow you to communicate with DUMUNC staff, and with fellow delegates from other nations. In addition to e-mailing your chairs with questions, this page will soon feature committee forums (see top-right corner), where you and fellow delegates can discuss topics and relevant issues prior to the commencement of the conference.

As DUMUNC approaches, each individual committee page will be updated with more information. Below is the schedule by which we will be updating the committee pages. Please note that JCC committees will not be posting standard background guides. Since the JCC committees are to simulate "real-time" crises, delegates will be expected to arrive with a general understanding of the history and politics of the relevant era and region. Specific topics will not be assigned ahead of time.

Background Guides:	December, 2007 - January, 2008
JCC Committee Updates:	January, 2008
Final Updates:	February, 2008

I hope that you will use the resources provided get the most out of the conference. Remember, your chairs are there to be e-mailed, so if you have any questions as you prepare for the conference, please do not hesitate to e-mail them, or me at any time. I look forward to seeing you at DUMUNC in February.

Sincerely,

Jinsoo Huh
Chief of Staff
DUMUNC XXVII

*Topics for the Disarmament and International Security Committee (GA1) will be posted by October.
