Caucus Strategies 
Moderated Caucus Strategy– Framing Debate
Moderated Caucuses are designed to narrow the scope of debate in committee to discuss specific 
components of the larger topic. This means two things: 1. Don’t be that delegate that moves for a 
moderated caucus to “further debate”- that’s not a topic, and your Chair will often frown upon it,
and 2. You can use moderated caucuses to make the committee focus on the sub-topics relating most 
directly to your resolution, or to avoid topics your country isn’t willing to discuss. 
Framing Debate
If you’ve researched properly, you should have a few solutions related to sub-topics of the issue before 
your committee that you hope to champion throughout debate and brand as your solutions. There are 
also likely a few sub-topics that you don’t want to talk about, either due to lack of research/solutions or 
because of the policy of your country. Use moderated caucuses to keep debate in the areas of the topic 
that you’re strong with, and present your solutions as the main solutions to these sub-issues. During 
moderated caucuses, advanced delegates may do something like the following to “frame” the debate 
in a way that is favorable to themselves.
