No manual curation has been done. There may be inaccuracies. ### Summary 00:00:00 Robert Jordan, facilitator of the Collateral Engineering Services, will discuss the current focus objectives and world map for the unit. He will also discuss the current challenges faced by the unit and how new hires are impacted. 00:05:00 The video discusses the Open Decentralized Voter Committee, which is a project spearheaded by Collateral Engineering Services. The committee aims to create a decentralized voting system that is more secure and scalable. The committee has already made some progress, including scaling the dye supply and implementing mip-21 technology. However, the committee still needs to focus on improving its operational efficiency. 00:10:00 The video discusses the benefits of having a team specifically dedicated to protocol engineering, which includes handling assessments related to collateral and technology. Robert Frank shared that when the protocol engineering team was first formed, it was clear that they needed more bandwidth to focus on real world assets. As the team has come up to speed, they have a closer relationship with protocol engineering, and as a result, they are able to transition more of their work into the core unit. 00:15:00 The author discusses the focus objectives and short and near-term goals for the Dow Jones Industrial Average. They explain that the sources of collateral opportunities come from the community, the prioritization sentiment polls, and the core units. The author mentions that it can be difficult to agree on what to focus on when it's not clear what to do, and that this begs the question of what the opportunities are, where they come from, and how to decide what to do. 00:20:00 The YouTube video discusses how the "Open Decentralized Voter Committee" is prioritizing opportunities and deciding which ones to work on. The video points out that the current market conditions make it difficult to take advantage of some of the opportunities, but that they are still worth pursuing. 00:25:00 This 1-paragraph summary is about the video "Open Decentralized Voter Committee | 7.6.22 | Collateral Engineering Services on Endgame." In it, the presenter discusses the need for more clarity in applications for protocol resources, and how having a delegate with more autonomy would help with this. 00:30:00 The presenter discusses how Dow is prioritizing diversifying its sources of funding, and how collateral technology is playing a role in this. Ces discusses the challenges of developing collateral technology and the importance of communicating with the community. 00:35:00 The author of the video discusses the challenges that the DAO faces in terms of prioritizing its collateral, and suggests ways in which the community can help to address these challenges. 00:40:00 The video explains Open Decentralized Voter Committee, its goals, and how it works. It also discusses how collateral is prioritized and how the committee ensures that it is aligned with the goals of the protocol. 00:45:00 The speaker critiques the lack of clarity in Pando's strategy, saying that it hinders the efficiency of the organization and wastes resources. He also points out that some of the other deals on the list are not as important to the organization and may not be worth pursuing. He recommends that the organization focus on clearer goals, objectives, and measurements and establishes clear accountability systems after achieving objectives. 00:50:00 The presenter discusses the Open Decentralized Voter Committee and how it relates to the Endgame project. They state that the committee is in a "pivot point" and that they need to focus on reducing the scope of the protocol in order to manage complexity. They also mention that they are still working on projects, and that the green checks next to their names show that they are fully aligned with the Endgame initiative. 00:55:00 The video discusses the complexities of Myth 21, which is a decentralized voter registry. It points out that, while the registry is theoretically easy to use, it is not actually easy to implement. Additionally, there are risks associated with using it, due to the fact that it relies on real-world deals being funded in U.S. dollars. 01:00:00 The video discusses Open Decentralized Voter Committee (ODV) projects, highlighting the difficulties of completing certain deals with high collateral requirements. Engineering Services discusses ways to overcome these challenges, including developing a protocol extension that does not impact the normal functioning of the blockchain. 01:05:00 The video discusses the Open Decentralized Voter Committee, which is a project to develop decentralized voting technologies. The first two deals under the committee's umbrella - one for Hewlett-Packard (HP) and one for Rafael Advanced Defense Systems - are currently up for vote. If the deals pass, the voter committee will start building the book for the first tranche of the 25 million dollars that will be dispersed for funding. 01:10:00 The presenter discusses the two main projects they are working on, HVB and sockgen, and explains how they envision servicing the metadows. 01:15:00 The video discusses the proposed changes to the Endgame project, and the difficulty of truly understanding the complexity of the situation. It says that one option is for CES to stay a core unit for a bit of time until the metadows get more structure or concreteness around them, while another option is for CES to be part of something larger. It suggests that a metadata model in which different groups specialize would be a better approach. Finally, the video says that tomorrow's DVC call is canceled, and that people should join next week's call instead.
