Time will be provided throughout the week for each team to draft their MSNAPs in this template.

16. MSNAP Editor Responsible for updating the MSNAP template
The editor should:
Take careful notes for the group

Please discuss and choose your editor as a team!
MSNAP editor: Each team will select an “editor” who will record material in the MSNAP template. It is important that the editor take careful notes, with the aid of the Participant Handbook. The editor will need regular access to a laptop computer for entering information into the MSNAP template. You can support your MSNAP editor by also taking careful notes in your Participant Handbook and by sharing your ideas throughout the drafting process.
