# _Fresh Owlpha, curated daily._ | _This is: [@HOWweDAO](https://twitter.com/howwedao)_ ![The sCoop](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex027/uploads/theindexdao/original/2X/6/6a51563efe13ee3dfb4f93058eb32acc019a1201.jpeg) _Today I ask @pujimak_in to forgive me for a coverage gap on the APAC WG meeting this morning, and hopefully some notes can be dropped or linked below._ _Otherwise, a full Tuesday with Analytics and Institutional Business in their on-weeks for their open bi-weekly meetings. The F.Nest weekly AMA, Wizardry, and TOC Tea Time were all productive as well. Tomorrow, @Crypto_Texan hosts @Figue of Palladin on a subject that is both wildly interesting and challenging: lending and borrowing governance power. Rounding out the day will be BD and the Leadership Forum._ **Announcements:** - _**[VOTING LIVE](https://snapshot.org/#/index-coop.eth)**_ - [IIP-109](https://snapshot.org/#/index-coop.eth/proposal/0x5e73d673d384a3ee75310e2a02c8b2ce0f98afe003feecb9a589f9eacf8491ae): Deploy Protocol-Owned INDEX/ETH Liquidity into Managed Visor Vault on Uniswap v3 @jdcook @bp333 - [IIP-XX: INDEX Buyback and Reinvest](https://gov.indexcoop.com/t/iip-xx-index-buyback-and-reinvest/3331) @Finance **MetaGovernance:** - [[AAVE]](https://snapshot.org/#/index-coop.eth/proposal/QmXBS8j6F64gkaV78jyvtDMDzvUHvugJNqCrncWeecE5au): Add G-UNI to Aave V2 AMM Market **Product | Launch | Liquidity:** - [DATA Progress Report (November 2021)](https://gov.indexcoop.com/t/data-progress-report-november-2021/3330) @Thomas_Hepner - [UPDATE IIP-091: Launch the NFT Blue-Chip Index (JPG)](https://gov.indexcoop.com/t/iip-091-launch-the-nft-blue-chip-index-jpg/2767/32) @JosephKnecht ### **Institutional Business** (17 attendees) Juuuust talking 'bout massive positive-sum partnerships with the IB Owls. APAC and IB have been like peas and carrots lately, and a refresh of the kucoin DPI listing is in the works as only about $50k of AUM lives there now. There was some good discussion by @fallow8 around Wintermute’s efforts to date, including providing seed liquidity for DATA, and around opening the door a little further on conversations with large exchanges. Bitgo is having a look at MVI, and nothing short of complete global reach is on the roadmap. @karlosrios is still looking into off-chain wrappers and infrastructure, otherwise having some conversations that could move that needle. There is a forthcoming content partnership with OnRamp and IB are otherwise hard at work solving the custody and support challenges being faced by RIAs and Family Offices. @Static121 noted the importance of keeping those promoting products informed on timelines and general context around IBs planned actions; otherwise @shawn16400 is keen to go full-Owl at Permissionless in May. ### **Analytics** (14 attendees) Index Coop’s own oracles (OracOwls?) have been hard at work giving deeper and more contextualized insight allowing WGs and Owls to know the extent to which efforts to-date have been effective, and guide efforts moving forward. There has been a big push of late bring Dune queries together and create a database that will be helpful for new contributors. The majority of the conversation was centered around a concern championed by @MrMadila around NAV decay within composite indices; @jackiepoo noted that some acceptable standards and best-practices are coming together. While rebalance and liquidity calculations have left @overanalyser questioning the nature of reality and decentralization, the main take-away seemed to be that AWG have the tools to inform a data-driven discussion around the impact to users of our products and more is expected as the conversation develops. Otherwise, if you need to get some insight, the AWG meeting is a great place to build some context and get questions answered, otherwise ping @anthonyb.eth or @jdcook to learn more or contribute. ### **Wizardry** (8 attendees) _I managed to dip in for the end of the Wizardry call and it appears that a guided onboard process flow is coming together and is somewhat modular so that improvement can be async and iterated on for improvement. If interested reach out to @edwardk to get the ball rolling on contribution._ ### **TOC Tea Time** (11 attendees) _Some light discussion today around protocol ownership, using NFTs to leverage expertise in decision making, and how to fund innovation were all discussed. This weekly touchpoint is a great way to get to know some fellow organizationally-minded Owls and stay current on TOC initiatives._ **Wednesday Meetings:** (UTC/1-hr, UON) [1600](https://discord.gg/segA9KnD) - Conversations with the Coop - Romain from Paladin [1700](https://meet.google.com/uqf-jxdx-iee) - Business Development [1800](https://meet.google.com/pfa-urkg-ery) - Leadership Forum **OOO:** @catjam Nov 30 - Dec 10, @pujimak_in Dec 7-14 **Daily Owlpha:** “_@mel.eth is now a btc maxi, but still thinks._” - @bradwmorris Hoot! @mel.eth
