Dear AUDC Union Members,
Best Regards. First of all, I extend my sincere apology for not being able to provide this explanation earlier. I had been busy over the last few days and had been caught up with some family matters. Here are some important explanations regarding our choice of 4th DCA for IIUM AUDC 2008.
1) At the time of our bid we have mentioned that we will most likely utilize the full 4 DCA quota for the IIUM AUDC 2008. However, by the time of the bid we had only announced 3 DCAs since we were only able to confirm with them by then. Regarding the 4th DCA we did not manage to confirm by the time of the bid and we also wanted to see the possibility of our last DCA from other regions other than South East Asia and we also wanted to see the interest of teams from these regions.
2) From the very beginning, we were interested to have the 4th DCA from a region other than South East Asia, since we already have plenty of DCAs with excellent credentials from South East Asia in our adjudication core. During IIUM Teams’ participation in Bangladesh Open, we have made contact with plenty of universities in Bangladesh and many of them have committed to attend the AUDC 2008. We are confident that in the AUDC 2008, there will be many teams from Bangladesh and other South Asian countries. Thus their representation in the Adjudication Team is important.
3) Regarding the credentials of Mr Stalin, he has already forwarded the details of his debate involvement in the region and AUDC. We believe that he meets the requirements to be a DCA and his presence will enhance the performance of the Adjudication Core. We also believe that it is in the long term interest of AUDC to include newer faces, newer institutions and representation of various regions wherever possible without compromising quality. Our Adjudication Core reflects both quality and representation. A brief on the Details of Adj Core is stated afterwards.
4) At the time of bid we made 3 specific commitments: High Quality Adjudication, Participation of Teams from Regions other than SEA, Affordable Registration Fees. We stay strong to these commitments and you may have observed that from the steps that we are taking to achieve them.
IIUM Adjudication Core:
1) CA/ Latif: Champion of Asians, Quarterfinalists of Australs, DCA Asians and Australs, Adjudicated Australs and Asians Finals and Worlds’ Semifinals.
2) DCA/Priyam: Quarterfianlists Australs, Winner Several Singapore IVs and Preworlds, Breaking Adj at Worlds.
3) DCA/Martin: Quarterfinlists Worlds, Semifinalists Asians, Top Ten Best Speaker AUDC and Asians, DCA-Philippines Nationals.
4) DCA/Ravi: Internal CA Worlds, Breaking Adj Australs, CA Asians, DCA Thailand Nationals, Grand Final Adj AUDC and Asians.
5) DCA (Proposed)/Stalin: Champion of Bangladesh National IVs, Debated at 2 Worlds, Adj Worlds and AUDC, Coach Bangladesh National School Team (Broke to Octo at World School Debate), CA (Internal) Bangladesh Open, CA- for several National IVs.
We hope that the Union will endorse our steps and guide us every step of the way to present an excellent AUDC for everyone. For more details on the IIUM AUDC 2008 and Adj Core please visit http://www.iiuaudc.com/ . Thanks.
