IFMSA Involvement Manual
Foreword As an NMO President, or Vice President of External (VPE) or International (VPI) Affairs in your organisation, you know that there are many tasks, responsibilities and deadlines to be fulfilled and many discussions, assignments and meetings to participate in IFMSA. This Manual provides you with the basic information about your tasks, and useful advice of your colleagues from the previous terms. Detailedly explaining all IFMSA procedures is out of the scope of this document, and for that information we kindly refer you to the other IFMSA Manuals: Presidents’ Manual, GA Preparations’ Manual.
Paulina Birula IFMSA Regional Director for Europe 2018/19
This one, however, includes all the very essentials, and we hope it will help you in being involved and bringing IFMSA closer to your NMO throughout your term. This Manual differs from many IFMSA’s publications. It was initiated by a group of IFMSA Members, European NMO Presidents, who later worked together to create this document for their successors, you. From the Members to the Members. Created by: Many European NMO Presidents from the term 2017/18, who dedicated their time for the discussions, and shared their experiences to prepare a guide they wish they had, at the time they started being in office. We owe you our gratitude. Coordinated by: Saana M. Mäenpää - FiMSIC Finland - the Initiator of the Manual Paulina Birula - Regional Director for Europe Finalised by: Gita Mihelčič - General Assistant for Europe Emma Jaede - IFMSA-Sweden Gita Reitere - LaMSA Latvia Jan Schenk - bvmd Germany Melike Saba Erdinç - TurkMSIC Turkey

II. Signing and stamping the exchange contracts, invitation letters and certificates You should always have the stamp of your NMO with you at GAs During the MM: • If your NMO’s NEOs or NOREs are not present at the March meeting and there are no delegates participating the SCORE or SCOPE sessions it is your responsibility as the Head of Delegation to make sure you give out/pick up the invitation letters and receive all your certificates. • During the MM: ■ Hard copies of invitation letters often have to be exchanged between NMOs; ■ Certificates for SCORE and SCOPE exchanges are given to each NMO. • Speak to your NEOs and NOREs prior to the GA, as you might have to bring hard copies of invitation letters and the stamp with you, and they can give you all the information needed about this. During the AM: • If your NMO’s NEOs or NOREs are not present at the AM, it is your responsibility as the Head of Delegation to sign the IFMSA SCOPE and SCORE contracts during the AM. ■ Make sure that your NEOs or NOREs have given you all the information needed for you to be able to sign the contracts: - number of contracts, list of countries, other additional information (if it is month specific contracts). ■ Make sure that you have your NEO or NORE’s stamps with you. ■ Check with your NEO and NPO if you are going to sign Contracts for Public Health Exchanges and get all the materials/instructions for them in case you are. ■ Tip: prepare the contracts before the GA, but do not stamp and sign them!

Shaping IFMSA by participating in the decision making I. IFMSA Plenaries The Plenary is the highest decision making body in IFMSA. It represents an integral part of the General Assembly as it allows the NMOs to vote on the changes in the Federation. To know more about Plenaries and voting procedures you can watch a video explaining it thoroughly here. You can also consult IFMSA Constitution and Bylaws, pages 12-17. For a more detailed explanation, we have prepared an overview of the Plenaries, which can be found in the Extensions to this document. There is a Plenary Simulation organised on Arrival Day and it is highly recommended to attend it so you can familiarise yourself with how the Plenaries are held. If you ever find yourself lost during voting at a Plenary, you can always take a quick look at the Motion and Debate Maze which shows how motions are passed.

June 2019
I.I. Voting during Plenaries •
• •
Prior to all Plenary voting procedures the NMOs should have chosen a stance on matters that are decided upon, (finished reading and discussion proposals, candidatures etc.) The NMO’s original stances can be changed during the GA, if needed, according to the details and extra information presented during the GA. It is very important to have a clear and thought-through stance of your NMO, to be able to vote “in favour” or “against”, instead of “abstain”.
I.II. Statements • •
NMOs can make statements, e.g. if they want to share their perspective, provide some information to the discussion, or address any situation or question. NMOs are not obliged to make statements on their own, they can also support other NMO’s statements. This is usually done by raising the voting card while the other NMO is reading the statement aloud. NMOs can also write statements together.
II. Giving input to proposals NMOs can give input when they have something to say or add to IFMSA decision making, priorities or practices, e.g. constitution or bylaw change proposals, drafting of priorities, strategies and agendas. In order to make informed decisions as an NMO, the IFMSA email thread discussions regarding decision making processes must be carefully followed by a nominated NMO Official, and shared with the delegation for collecting input.
II.I. Participating in the discussions via emails on the NMO server •
•
Giving feedback and input by replying to the emails through the NMO server is essential, because in this way you can easily reach the IFMSA EB, TO and all NMOs, and make your voice heard. It is recommended to begin with carefully following the discussions, reading the related documents and attachments, considering other NMOs’ opinions, and drafting the opinion or comment of your NMO in a respective way before sending it to the server.
II.II. Gathering the opinion of all our members in a democratic and representative way • •
The VPE/VPIs are usually the ones responsible for following and sharing the discussions and related information that is relevant to the NMO and its members. The EB (and TO) of the NMO are the main representative parties of the NMO. However, the opinions of the local officers and general members should be taken into consideration whenever necessary.
15
IFMSA Involvement Manual
•
•
Once all the submissions for GAs or Regional Meetings are announced, it’s highly recommended to share them with the rest of the EB and TO of the NMO as well as general members and delegates. All the input and comments received through the NMO server should also be shared continuously with the NMO EB and Officials. If there are proposals which are not easily agreed on, or if the VPE/VPIs are not fully sure about the stance of their NMO (e.g. topics never discussed or raised in their NMO), they can discuss with the EB and TO or contact their members to collect their opinions, or raise these questions during NMO meetings.
Extensions can be found here. If you want to read more in detail about selecting and leading a delegation at the GA, we have prepared some tips and tricks you might find useful. We have also added an overview of the Plenaries in the end. All the NMOs are very welcome to contribute to this part and pass on their extensive IFMSA knowledge.
