Q: Should I bring my laptop?
A: Yes…but not all of you. Around 8 delegates brought their laptops last year, and that seemed like a good number. We started with many resolutions with very few sponsors, but they later merged with other resolutions by combining certain operative clauses to yielde 3-4 distinct resolutions for the final voting bloc (flash drives came in very handy, I recall). Keep in mind that we will not be in a room that has enough outlets to accomodate any more than 3-4 laptops, and that the use of these laptops will be limited to resolution writing ONLY.
Feel free to use this blog to ask other delegates what they will be doing. If you know your school has multiple delegates in UNDP, talk to each other and plan ahead. Oh, and remember that you’ll have to carry your laptop with you every time we have a break, as the rooms will not be locked in between meals and so forth.
We hope this helps. If you have any more questions, leave a comment and we’ll be sure to respond ASAP.

If anyone is going to bring a computer to the conference, it would be SUPER if you could leave a comment saying so. We kind of want to know if we should bring one. Thanks.

We are NOT going to bring one at this moment. I hope that’s helpful.

We are bringing a laptop. Do we needed to configure our laptop in any special way so that it can connect to the Berkley server?

You’ll not be able to go online without a Cal student ID which all registered Berkeley students have.
