RESPONSE TO ATTACK SPEECH V tomto minutovém projevu člen obhajující komise zareaguje na body zmíněné v Attack Speech a dále podpoří danou rezoluci. OPEN DEBATE Během tohoto bloku mají všichni delegáti šanci vyjádřit se k dané rezoluci – nabídnout návrhy na zlepšení nebo kritizovat jednotlivé body. Open Debate bude probíhat ve dvou až třech kolech, z nichž každé tradičně sestává ze čtyř až pěti podnětů. Na konci každého kola člen obhajující komise zareaguje na každý z podnětů. Poslední kolo otázek je zodpovězeno z pódia, spolu s přednesením Summation Speech. Během debaty je možno použít plakáty, které budou mít všechny delegace k dispozici. Pokud bude delegace cítit potřebu vyjádřit se okamžitě k poslednímu podnětu řečenému v debatě, může k tomu využít plakát Direct Response. Plakát Point of Personal Privilege lze využít v případě, že některý delegát neslyší osobu, která právě mluví. SUMMATION SPEECH Tento projev je přednášen po zodpovězení posledního kola otázek. Na pódium tedy jdou v tuto chvíli dvě osoby – první delegát zodpoví otázky a druhý přednese Summation Speech. Dohromady se jejich vystoupení musí vejít do 3 minut. Úkolem tohoto projevu je znovu zdůraznit silné stránky rezoluce a pokusit se přesvědčit shromáždění, aby pro ni volilo. VOTING PROCEDURE V této poslední části projednávání rezoluce Valné shromáždění hlasuje o přijetí či nepřijetí rezoluce. Každý delegát se zde může rozhodnout sám za sebe, zda pro rezoluci hlasovat, či nikoliv. Výsledek hlasování o rezoluci komise nebude mít vliv na rozhodování poroty.
