Students are to meet in their respective country/organization groups to get acquainted with fellow team members, establish small group procedures, and assign roles and responsibilities where appropriate.

 

The assignment of roles may include: group leader, lead facilitator, chief negotiator, scribe, etc.  Responsibilities may include: alliance/coalition building, policy specialist for roundtables, etc. 

 

In addition, groups are expected to share individual background papers, discuss similarities and differences on group positions, and identify any issues where additional research is needed. 

 

UNAIDS is expected to form teams of four for each of the policy roundtables.  Teams are to appoint two facilitators, a timekeeper, and a scribe for their respective roundtable.

 

·       Facilitators: Manage the agenda, ensure balanced participation, ensure forum procedures are followed, assist with roundtable maintenance, and facilitate discussion and consensus building.

 

·       Timekeeper: Monitor the pace of the roundtable meetings and ensure forum procedures are followed.

 

·       Scribe: Provide group memory by maintaining notes of the policy roundtable discussions/negotiations.
