First, the lowdown from Product Nest. They’re focused on building: - 3 Diversified Stable Yield Inidices (Low, Medium, & High) - 1 Diversified ETH Yield Index - 1 BTC Yield Product - Yield strategies that support these products (FIXED, ySTABLE, MNYe, yETH, etc.) They’re pausing all Thematic/Sector Indices. Product also identified 4 target customers, in order of priority 1. Whales 2. Treasuries 3. High Net-Worth Individuals (HNWs) 4. Mainstream Passive Investors (Retail) Growth is building their plan on this. They’ve identified 7 customer groups to target, separated by onchain (whales, crypto natives, and DAOs/dApps) and offchain (HNWs, Retail, Intermediaries, and agile institutions). In all, we’re continuing to target Onchain customers but increasingly target Offchain customers. Why? - Their markets are significantly larger. - They already use index products, TradFi as they are. - We have an index product listing at a Tier 1 CEX and we’re incorporating - We have a successful mobile app partner in Argent We’ve got an enlarged Growth team to do it: ![Screen Shot 2022-05-26 at 3.06.33 PM](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex027/uploads/theindexdao/original/2X/1/17862bd02e79cebd38eb4c6e883ca34fd47bb693.png) In conclusion, LFG. Next up: @catjam with [Season 1 → Season 2 Transition](https://www.notion.so/index-coop/Season-2-Launch-Plan-352882122db5431abaa20650a277dab0). Season 1 ends July 31, 2022. Season 2 starts August 1, 2022. - Off-season: The proposal process has been made easier and as a result, we’re not taking a collective break. Business as usual in the month of July. - Budget: Deep budget cuts not expected. ICC will provide Nest Leads with a specific budget to work from in rather than the nest proposing a budget. @anthonyb.eth is leading w consult from F.Nest. - Org. Structure: We’re getting Nests with broad responsibility to reduce silos and manage budgets more effectively. This means Community, Governance, and Finance. - Other goals: Clear definition of roles. Clear planning process usable in future seasons. A quick calendar: - June 7: S1 Stepback Event @ Leadership Forum - June 5: Budget, KPIs, & Nest Structure Review @ Leadership Forum - June 20 - July 15: Nest Proposals - TBA: Index Coop Social (put on by event extraordinaire @0xMitz) # A time for reflection **Governance Nest - Season 1 Retro** Gov Nest used this session to review actuals compared to [Season 1 Proposal](https://gov.indexcoop.com/t/governance-nest-proposal-season-1-2022/3873). While it wasn’t mentioned in the proposal, Gov Nest added GovComms, led by @shawn16400, in addition to GovOps and MetaGov Pods. We now have monthly reporting, something we’ve never had before. GovComms Pod is likely to remain a staple of Gov Nest. Ops Pod established a transparent [IIP governance process](https://gov.indexcoop.com/t/standard-iip-template/4248) that any contributor can follow within the community handbook. They also transitioned toward enabling more community members to manage their own IIPs over time. MetaGov Pod is aimed at ensuring metagov voting rights are utilized and growing awareness of IC’s metagov influence. Metrics will be updated ASAP. Now, Contributors. Core was Lead @mel.eth with Silver Owls @shawn16400 and @sixtykeys. Others for S1 include @puncar, @Lavi, @asira, and @pujimak_in. This means Gov has a single priority hire with the rest being flexible contributors. Lastly, finances. Season 1 forecast, with 2 months left, is $110,000. Actual to date is $65,975. They’re on track for a slight underspend.

Hi All, Please see our weekly update on the community holdings. Index Coop is generating **24.4%** of its revenue, post methodologist share, from the Investment and Operations Account. ![Screenshot 2022-05-26 at 20.29.03](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex027/uploads/theindexdao/original/2X/f/f5858e549116a97e5e8794511e20537776bef018.png) Note: This excluded the ETH debt and icETH/ETH protocol owned liquidity position which is fully hedged, revenue generating and should earn SPICE rewards when Arrakis launches soon.
