As our number of Core Units grows, it becomes difficult to scale the weekly Governance and Risk Call. @Davidutro [presents a new format](https://forum.makerdao.com/t/changes-to-the-governance-and-risk-call-no-more-general-team-updates/10361) where General Team Updates will be posted on Forums, and Team Discussion will instead take place during the G&R Calls. @wouter responds with insight on an idea that may help provide adaptability and agility for the call, which David takes into account.

@jacek [announced](https://forum.makerdao.com/t/makerdao-in-the-latest-edition-of-the-economist/10364) that MakerDAO was featured in a cover article in a recent edition of The Economist. [Down the rabbit hole: The promise and perils of decentralized finance](https://www.economist.com/weeklyedition/2021-09-18) details the rise of DeFi, characterizing Dai as “the biggest’ on-chain’ stablecoin” and explores how DeFi aims to improve global financial networks.

### *Ongoing Discussions:*
‘Who said discussions should end after a week!?’

In the MIP proposing DSSVest, a module to automate token vesting distributions, [@Wouter notes](https://forum.makerdao.com/t/mip-54-dssvest/8025/14) that the first usage of DSSVest will result in new MKR minted to cover Core Unit MKR vesting plans and thereby asks whether this was the intention of the MIP or should it be revisited.
