What is the Role of Public Scribe

A:

The role of public scribe is simply the writing, on paper or blackboard, of information for the whole group to see. This person primarily assists the Facilitator by taking a task which might otherwise distract the Facilitator and interfere with the overall flow of the Meeting. This role is particularly useful during brainstorms, report-backs from small groups, or whenever it would help the group for all to see written information.
