- Modularization means that the different sections, or modules, in the sample MOU will be selected for inclusion in a specific MOU based on who is signing the MOU and what activities are important to the jurisdiction. An example would be that Public Lead MOUs might not include the section, "Advisory on Law and Legal Developments."
