## **The sCoop** _Fresh Owlpha, curated daily._ _This is [@HOWweDAO](https://twitter.com/howwedao)._ [previous issue](https://gov.indexcoop.com/t/the-scoop-contributor-newsletter-2021-09-14-tuesday/2667) _Today we had the Weekly Planning and Product WG meetings; while the Weekly write-up is included in today’s issue, the PWG recap will be included tomorrow as this Owl is headed to the IC sponsored Happy Hour event following the first day of [Messari Mainnet](https://mainnet.events/registration/) where @Metfanmike and @setoshi will be speaking on building crypto-native index funds! Tomorrow looks to be IBWG and Wizardry weekly meetings, with the end of this week getting a little more meeting-heavy, so rest up, hydrate, and let’s dive in._ **Calls to Action:** - [Proposal: Asia Pacific Working Group (APWG)](https://gov.indexcoop.com/t/proposal-asia-pacific-working-group-apwg/2691) by @lee0007 - [Proposal : Robot Index Working Group (RIWG) - \*\*Temperature Check poll added\*\*](https://gov.indexcoop.com/t/proposal-robot-index-working-group-riwg/2705) by @Monportefeuille[Deciding How to Prioritize Engineering Work [Poll]](https://gov.indexcoop.com/t/deciding-how-to-prioritize-engineering-work-poll/2685) by @edwardk - [Women in Index: Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Initiative](https://gov.indexcoop.com/t/women-in-index-diversity-equity-and-inclusion-initiative/2656)by @chasechapman **Context Corner:** - [MVI Liquidity: post-incentives](https://gov.indexcoop.com/t/liquidity-review-august-2021/2605/9) by @overanalyser **Weekly Planning** (39 attendees) [slides](https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1LOjCkMke4kjwAddSynvueVeIWnSzFWVKYVOLQ-6d20A/edit#slide=id.ge63a6b452f_2_0) After a few high-energy introductions from some first-time listeners, @BigSky7 reminded us although we have a lot to be proud of, focus and execution will be top-of-mind going into Q4. IC products saw 4% growth in unit-supply this week, with @jdcook noting that we’ve had back-to-back weeks of solid numbers. @anon10525910 is reviewing the timing constraints for WG budget submissions going into Q4, so WG Leads, stay tuned. @BigSky7 surfaced that a more forward-looking Coop-wide calendar would be useful, with @caf noting that the existing notion calendar used for Twitter may be helpful in this regard and following up re a possible Google Calendar integration. The Automated Indices Pod has reached out to DeFi Pulse to try and find a coordinated way to launch new products, with the current arrangement making roadmap creation a challenge. The EWG gave a shout to @edwardk for leveling-up the WG in general and the post on [Prioritizing Engineering Work](https://gov.indexcoop.com/t/deciding-how-to-prioritize-engineering-work-poll/2685). @pujimak_in reminds us that there is a proposal up in the forum to form an [Asia-Pacific WG](https://gov.indexcoop.com/t/proposal-asia-pacific-working-group-apwg/2691), and may also be looking to set up a Business Development WG specific to India. I will refer readers to [Slide No. 35](https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1LOjCkMke4kjwAddSynvueVeIWnSzFWVKYVOLQ-6d20A/edit#slide=id.gb85cc711c3_15_0) in the deck given that there is too much to cover on the Business Development side, but in addition to a plethora of useful integrations, there has been some interfacing with [NFTVI](https://twitter.com/NFTVI_?s=20) that may bring The Coop closer to housing an NFT Index. @Mringz gave a shout to @Crypto_Texan for hosting the AMA with IDEX. @BigSky7 pointed out that the passing of IIP-84 makes this Sequoia Capital’s first investment on-chain directly with a DAO and perhaps worthy of leveraging from a marketing perspective. @caf and @Static121 have been keeping CDWG pumping at full volume and gave a shout to @emil_eth on bringing the website handover within striking-distance. Two initiatives being explored involve utilizing [Cooper](https://gov.indexcoop.com/t/cdwg-aug-update-your-opinions-on-our-new-owl/2615) as some form of NFT and perhaps giving POAPs for participating in IC governance. [DATA](https://gov.indexcoop.com/t/iip-59-final-data-economy-index-data/2310) is expected to launch later this week with a big Twitter push coming; I hope y’all have been working out those retweeting thumbs. @Monportefeuille noted that should all go to plan with DG2, we could see the [iROBOT](https://gov.indexcoop.com/t/proposal-robot-index-working-group-riwg/2705) Index within the next month. The Growth WG has moved to a more campaign-based content strategy and has been preparing for the strong presence planned at [Token 2049](https://gov.indexcoop.com/t/irl-event-token2049-london-oct-7-8th/2531) in London. Of note, Twitter posts have been spreading the love fairly equally among IC product offerings, which is seen as positive. And finally, Index Coop has its [first birthday](https://medium.com/indexcoop/introducing-the-index-cooperative-a4eaaf0bcfe2) coming up in just over 2-weeks (Oct 6)! _Less exciting, but also important: Be mindful of leaving slides in the Weekly Planning deck if you’re not going to be on the call._ **[Governance Update](https://gov.indexcoop.com/t/governance-update-2021-09-13/2647)([snapshot](https://snapshot.org/#/index-coop.eth))** by @sixtykeys **Tuesday Meetings:** (UTC/1-hr, UON) [0500](https://meet.google.com/wby-gsda-fzv) - [APAC] Index 2.0 Recap Workshop [1400](https://gov.indexcoop.com/t/the-scoop-contributor-newsletter-2021-08-16-monday/2391) - Institutional Business WG Meeting [1500](https://discord.com/invite/X7kVK8XUjt) - Wizardry Weekly Call **OOO:** @Metfanmike and @fallow8 (Messari Mainnet) thru Sep 22, @MrMadila thru Sep 24, @Pepperoni_Joe thru Sep 24, @Mringz (limited capacity) thru Sep 24 **Daily DAOwlpha:** If you’re not tuning into community calls, you’re missing one of the most efficient ways to develop an understanding of a given project.
