Secured Registered Team in IVED 2010

This is announcement from IVED 2010 committee..

Hi all!

We’d like to announce the end of ITB IVED 2010′s main registration phase. In this announcement we’d like to report the teams who have secured their registration, based on the latest check of our registration officer:

1. BINUS A
2. BINUS B
3. Atmajaya Jakarta A
4. Atmajaya Jakarta B
5. Universitas Hasanuddin A (+2 Adj, +1 Observer)
6. Universitas Hasanuddin B
7. UNSOED A
8. UNSOED B
9. UNPAR A
10. UNPAR B
11. Universitas Brawijaya A
12. UNIMED
13. ITB A
14. ITB B
15. ITB C
16. STMIK AMIKOM JOGJA A
17. STMIK AMIKOM JOGJA B

We welcome these teams to IVED ITB 2010 and we will definitely be seeing you in Bandung! Several of these teams are registered under the down-payment scheme and we kindly ask you to pay the remainder of your rego fee in the second registration phase.

As of now, the registration enters the SECOND PHASE. The Second Phase, as promised, will be roughly two weeks starting from December 03; which means it will be from December 03-18, 2009. Here’s what will happen during the second phase.

All teams who wishes to register MUST finish their payment (i.e. IDR500000 per person) before the end of the second phase. This means all transfers should have reached Darwin’s BNI account (BNI, account number 0170257360 a.n. Darwin Sutjiawan.) before Friday, December 18, 2009, 3PM (the bank’s closing hour). The sooner, the better. This is EXTREMELY crucial for the sake of the smoothgoing of the org.comm’s job. Should payments haven’t been completed prior to this deadline, the committee will have massive difficulty finalizing deals with, say, accommodation; with things such as trimming unnecessary rents e.g. extra buses or even excess servings of f&b. Believe us, these sectors can be very very messy.

Having to do all this in the holiday outset of Christmas and New Year’s means a fiasco. Thus, as a result of this year-end complexity, should you miss the payment deadline but still wish to attend IVED, we are afraid we would have to charge you more – your late-term rego fee will have to soar as high as IDR550000. We fear that we have no option but to exert a strict payment policy in order to expediate the process of having a fixed list of registered teams. This is rather punitive, and seeing the animo of teams registering, we predict that we (hopefully) may not have to enact this policy. We kindly ask all registering institutions to pay BEFORE the maximum deadline so everything can work best for all of us.

We have a long list of teams (described below) from various universities who have expressed their intention to participate at the next IVED. As we have declared earlier, your spot will only have been secured once you’ve fulfilled the rego fee payment (i.e. IDR 500000 per person or IDR 300000 if you are using the down-payment scheme). So please, teams, pay ASAP to attain secured spots. In this phase we also welcome the C-teams to register. From this point on, all institutions can send the maximum of 3 teams, the C-team doesn’t have to wait anymore.

Here is our queue list (based on priority):
UGM A
Teknokrat Lampung A
BIPEDS A
Universitas Negeri Jember
STAN A
Atma Jogja A (+1 adj)
UKSW A
UMY A
UI A
Bakrie University A

I’d like to remind you again that the cap for this year’s IVED is only 64 teams. So please, make your payment as fast as possible. We grant the quickest payer immediate entry. Even though you’re, say, number 45 on that list, if you make your transfer faster than the others you will have your participation spot secured immediately.

Again, we kindly extend our invitation to anyone across the nation. Please fulfill the criteria and timeline cited above. Should you have further questions to ask and/or clarifications to make, please contact our rego officer Darwin Sutjiawan at nasa(underscore) darwin(at) yahoo(dot) com or +62817719223.

We will keep updating the most recent registerers. Thank you for your kind attention.

ITB IVED 2010: Prepared Motions

Here is the prepared motions of IVED 2010. It is amazing ! Many of data should be collected to empower each team argument. Keep on spirit !!!

Heading #1
THAT STATUE OVERLOOKING ELLIS ISLAND:
THE AMERICAN FREEDOM

The land of America is found, fought for, and build into greatness by refugees fleeing the tyrannical kingdom and oppressive European regimes around after the 15th century; as well as those escaping the massive expanse of war-atrocities of the World War II. The concept of freedom is thus, as symbolized by the Statue of Liberty herself, is extremely crucial in the constitutional definition of the American welfare. But reality always mar the idyll dreams of freedom: limitations of freedom always enter the fray, in the name of security, or equality, or practical prudence; among other
things.

1. THBT the US should favor the Senate’s version of universal health care.

2. THW repeal the American amendment permitting train passengers to travel with handguns and/or other firearms as part of their checked luggage.

3. THW punish the enacter of Manhattan Declaration as perpetrators of hate crime under the Matthew Shepard Act.

Heading #2:
TRANSBORDER
AFFAIRS

A nation stand side-by-side with their neighbors. Along those imaginary fence we call borders, many bullets are being tossed, many entries are being stolen, many deals are sealed under the breath of headline-winning smiles of perfectly-coiffed leaders. These three motions inquire the analysis of the particular relationships across the borders: which is for the better, which is for worse; and, most importantly, which is which for which side of the fence?

1. THS the ICC
prosecution of war crimes in the Gaza Strip based on the Goldstone Commission Report.

2. THBT Cambodia should deport Thaksin back to Thailand.

3. TH regrets the Lisbon Treaty.

Heading #3:
THE POSTVICTORIAN YOUTH

The Victorian-flavored ‘normality’ of appropriateness (many times, religious appropriateness), permeating so greatly within the larger part of most modern society nowadays, is what Foucault describes as the repressive hypothesis. Some groups clamor of how the enactment of appropriateness through many forms of its constraining social toll makes many youths lose some social qualities. But when deconstruction is commenced, the question is always about which form is best for the new order. In this case, how less Victorian should we treat the youth in order to gain the most merit?

1. THBT more of New York’s Harvey Milk School should be established.

2. THW insert various alternatives of sexual conducts such as anal sex, mutual gratification, and masturbation, into the curriculum of sex-education.

3. THBT the calculus of Heaven and Hell should never be used to teach children about morality.

————————————————————————————————————————

We would kindly remind all participating teams and institutions to conduct a profound research about the issues incorporated in each motion. This is especially important in Australasians style (which is
used in IVED); a style that demands mastery of details and down-to-earth portrayal of your arguments. Knowledge of data, statistics, real-life illustrations, all gained through your respective research, will be extremely helpful to build a solid case expected in IVED.

We would also like to remind that in Australasians style, no half-negations are allowed. Apart from that, philosophical points will also be viewed very importantly.

Just as a disclaimer, IVED will consist of 6 (six) preliminary rounds and 4 (four)
eliminary rounds. One heading will be released for each round, which equals to 10 headings. The remaining 7 headings will be impromptu motions and will not be informed in whatsoever way until 30 minutes before the round starts.

We wish all teams the best of luck!
