Sponsors (The Authors):
- Sponsors are the principal authors of the document.
- They actively support the policies within the resolution and are expected to vote "Yes" during final voting.
- Many conferences cap the maximum number of sponsors to prevent "mega-blocs" from monopolizing the committee.
Signatories (The Audience):
- Signatories are delegates who wish to see the document debated on the floor.
- Crucial Rule: Being a signatory does not mean you agree with the resolution. You can sign a document to get it to the floor and then actively vote "No" against it.
- Conferences require a minimum threshold of signatories (e.g., 20% of the quorum) before the Chair will accept the draft.
The Digital Advantage:
Walking around a room with a clipboard begging for signatures wastes crucial lobbying time. With MUN-Key.com, delegates can digitally request and grant signatory status through the platform. The system automatically tracks signature thresholds and alerts the Chair the moment a resolution is legally ready for introduction.
