Evening everyone.
 
First of all sorry, I have not yet managed to work out the debater of the 
month. The start of the WODC has taken up most of my time over the last few 
days. I hope to have it done by Friday. On the subject of the WODC I encourage 
you to read the debates as they are completed and to vote on which side you 
think made their case best – not the side which you personally agree with. The 
public vote can act as a tiebreaker when the two judges don’t agree so voting 
does have meaning.
 
Lists of the WODC debates once they have started can be found

As a reminder the links and introductions are at
