Ad-Hoc Committee of the Director-General
The Ad-Hoc Committee of the Director-General is intended to give GA delegates a unique and exciting experience. Created by and for delegates who love General Assembly committees, ChoMUN’s Ad-Hoc GA is specifically designed to challenge delegates in the core skills of General Assembly competition. Rather than simply imposing crisis elements, distinctive ChoMUN twists to the style of committee will give delegates the chance to showcase their experience at the last conference of the year. As a flagship committee of ChoMUN XXIX, the Director-General’s Ad Hoc promises the most innovative GA experience on the collegiate competitive circuit and one that will challenge your preconceptions of Model UN.
The committee topic will remain a secret until shortly before the conference, at which point the background guide will be released and delegates will have the opportunity to engage in committee-specific preparation. When preparing for this committee, the executives encourage delegates to focus on tangible skills, including but not limited to: bloc-building, speeches, mergers, and on-your-feet thinking.
This is an advanced committee. We highly recommend that delegates have experience competing on General Assembly committees on the collegiate circuit before competing on a ChoMUN Ad Hoc.
This is a single-delegate committee. Position papers are not required.
Jay Love
Executive
Jay is a third-year majoring in Law, Letters, and Society and Economics. Born and raised in Houston, Texas, he is a dedicated y’all evangelist and refuses to MUN without cowboy boots. Previously, Jay served as a Chair for ChoMUN XXVIII’s WHO and is an active member of UChicago’s travel team.
In the brief periods of time where MUN doesn’t occupy a comprehensive segment of his brain, Jay competes with UChicago Undergraduate Moot Court, peruses the New York Times, and shakes his fist at the latest drivel originating from the Supreme Court. He is also an unapologetic fan of the two-time, undisputed World Series Champion Houston Astros. Jay is incredibly excited to serve as a Chair this year, and can’t wait for ChoMUN XXIX.
