Distinguished Delegates,
On behalf of the United Nations Society Nuremberg e.V. and the entire
BayernMUN staff, we are very excited to welcome you at BayernMUN 2021! Not
six month ago, when preparations for this year’s conference began, we still had
high hopes for an in-person conference. Despite these challenging times we put
every effort into the preparation of this conference and we are confident that,
even in a virtual format, it will be a valuable learning experience for all of you.
This Conference Guide serves as a reference during the conference and your final
preparations. You can find the final conference schedule, an in-detail guide on our
online tools and platforms, and an introduction of our wonderful staff.
Although we would prefer to welcome you all in Nuremberg, we are looking
forward to your inspiring speeches, intense negotiations, and innovative
solutions- and of course, finally getting to know you!If you still have any questions
regarding the conference, do not hesitate to contact us
at secretariat@bayernmun.org.
Good luck in your final preparations! With best wishes,
Your BayernMUN Secretariat

Virtual BayernMUN2021
This is an overview of the online tools and platforms for the virtual BayernMUN2021.
You will have to register for Gatherly and MUNCommand separately. We furthermore
recommend to set up a Gmail account for the conference (e.g.
country_committe@gmail.com) since we will be using Goolge Docs for Working Paper
submission, amendment forms and right to reply forms. Although we highly
recommend a Google account, it is not mandatory for your participation.
Gatherly
This is our virtual conference venue. Gatherly is built on the concept of spatial video
chat. Just like in person, you can walk around and talk to whoever you'd like. By
creating virtual spaces to network and mingle, Gatherly maintains the spontaneity and
flow of natural conversations. Gatherly can only be used via a Google Chrome
browser.
Please check out their tutorial and internet speed test ahead of the conference:
test.gatherly.io
For more detailed information watch this demo video or have a look at their other
videos.
Important Note: Do not share your Gatherly access link with anyone else!
When you first enter the event you will have to
name yourself according to the following
nomenclature:
Country_ SC_ Firstname /
Country_ GA_ FirstName
The “name” is visible on your avatar, you can add
additional info in the “title” such as your group
affiliation.
By clicking on Settings in the upper right corner of
the Gatherly screen you will be able to change
your name at anytime.
You can also always access the “Event Info”.
On the right you see a map of the room (floor) where
you are in. You also see the avatars of everyone else
on this floor. When you go to “Elevator” you can move
to other floors. Only use “Exit” to leave the event
entirely.

function to message to your everyone on everyone in message to

faculty advisor or staff. the event
Floor
A 2D virtual space to interact with others. You can
think of this as different floors of a hotel (welcome
lobby, ballroom, conference hall, etc.).
Huddle
A group video chat conversation, represented by a circle on
the map. You can form “huddles” with up to 14 other
participants (either fellow delegates or staff).
Broadcast
Announcements from the Chair and speeches will be streamed to everyone on the
floor via the “Broadcast” function. In order to deliver your speech, you will have to wait
until the Chair adds you to the broadcast. After your speech you will be removed again
by the Chair.
Elevators & Exit
Sticking to the hotel analogy, these take you to
different floors of an event. Each floor has
elevators accessible in the bottom left.
The exit is a door that will take you out of the Gatherly event
completely. Each floor has an exit accessible in the bottom right.
Raise Hand
The “raise hand” function is your virtual placard. Whenever the Chair asks for motions
you will use this function as you would use a real placard. This also applies for bringing
in a Point of Order. Point of Personal Privilege or Point of Information should be
submitted via direct chat to the Dais.

MUN Command
The MUN Command Conference App is an all-in-
one solution for chairs, delegates, and organizers,
combining chairing software, live polling, chat,
and conference- and document-management.
Whereas Gatherly simulates the conference
venue, MUN Command facilitates the committee
procedures, such as roll call and voting. You will
be able to see the speakers list, the speakers time
and all draft resolutions on your device, and put
yourself or take yourself of the speakers list.
After receiving your MUNCommand invitation, you will have to register on their website
and enter the provided conference key.

The screenshot below shows your starting page when entering MUN Command.
In the “Home” tab you see the status of the committee session. During formal session
the speakers list (GSL) and timer will be displayed. The three circles in the top right
corner show the current majorities in your committee.
Roll Call
The first feature you may need to use in
MUNCommand is the Roll Call function. During the
Roll Call, the Dais will either ask you to enter your
status via MUNCommand or state it orally via
Gatherly.
Please select/ state whether you are “Present” (P) or
“Present and Voting” (PV).
Speakers List & Speakers Time
Following the opening of the GSL the Chair will ask you will need to use the “raise
hand” function to be added to the GSL. If you are recognized by the Chair, the Dais
will add you to the speakers list. If at a later time point you wish to set yourself on or
remove yourself from the speakers list you will be able to do so via MUNCommand.
6
Submitting and Voting Upon Motions
After opening the floor for motions, the Dais will recognize delegations raising their
virtual hand and add them to the broadcast. The motions will be then be voted upon in
the order of precedence and from most to least disruptive. You can cast your vote via
the “Motions” tab on MUNCommand. Abstentions are not in order for procedural votes.
Delegations represented by two delegates can only cast one vote.
Documents in MUNCommand
In the “Document” tab you will find all committee documents such as Positions Papers,
draft resolutions and amendments. All documents will be managed by BayernMUN
staff. Please do not upload any documents on your own.
Voting Procedure
During Voting Procedure, you will be able to access all draft resolutions and
amendments and cast your substantive votes via the “Home” tab.
Google Docs
All templates for BayernMUN2021 can be retrieved via a Google Docs link. You will
get access to working paper and amendment forms to modify on your own. Please
make sure to create a copy of the original document and rename it according to this
nomenclature:
GA_WP_TopicX or SC_ WP_TopicX
To submit it to the Dais, make a copy of this document (select “do not share with
previous collaborators / make sure to remove everyone else from the submission copy)
and share it with ga.bayernmun@gmail.com (as owner, see screenshots overleaf).
Remember to remove yourself as owner!
After corrections, the Dais will follow the same procedure to return the working paper
to your email address.
You will also receive feedback from the Dais which will be given in one of the Feedback
rooms either via broadcast or as a huddle.
