@josolnik from Risk Core Unit follows up on the previous three vault behavior analyses and [presents](https://forum.makerdao.com/t/maker-vault-protection-score/10532) a methodology for assessing vault level risk. Their next step is to integrate the insights from this analysis into their quantitative models to keep improving the proposal process of Maker risk parameters. 

The plan for legal entities acting as a conduit for real-world investments for MakerDAO was to diversify the jurisdiction risk. Therefore, @SebVentures from Real World Finance Core Unit [announced](https://forum.makerdao.com/t/rwa-foundations-jersey-edition/10477) that the [NebulaCapital](https://forum.makerdao.com/t/ncp01-drop-mip6-application-european-point-of-sales-consumer-finance-portfolio/9600) vault may accelerate their schedule to a new country, Jersey.

[[Discussion] Can (and should) Maker require acceptance of TOS on-chain prior to interaction?](https://forum.makerdao.com/t/discussion-can-and-should-maker-require-acceptance-of-tos-on-chain-prior-to-interaction/10582) - @PaperImperium inquires where Maker can and should require an affirmative acceptance of a Terms of Service or End User License Agreement on-chain for a wallet the first time it interacts with the protocol. If so, do we want to pioneer this kind of permissioned permissionlessness?
