## Team-led Discussions

### Lisboa Recap

#### PECU





#### Growth

- Met with AAVE team in prep for D3M launch.
- Met with Danielle from MIM from the degen side.
- Spoke with Klima about credit carbon tokens to learn and identify the next steps.
- Trying to discuss and identify steps to pursue the Clean Money Initiative.
- Met with Wintermute to explain community decision regarding their previous proposal.
- Wintermute, in response, edited and improved their proposal.
- Members and the community should have another call/discussion with Wintermute in the near future.

#### GovComms

*Key Takeaways:*
- Difficult to understand every single CUs vision when there are so many CUs and MakerDAO decentralization scaling.
- Public sentiment of Maker and Dai is misunderstood.
- Maker should improve on external communication and press release.

#### Risk

- Spoke with AAVE on D3M.
- Lots of discussion on Protocol-owned Liquidity, which is becoming popular.
- Interesting concept and potentially applicable to Maker.

#### SES

- Thanks to everyone for contributing to the event ^_^

### Adding WBTC-B

####

- The WBTC-B vault should be live very soon.
- But it will take a little bit of time preparing B.Protocol for onboarding.
- Primoz is also concerned with WBTC-B vault scaling and lack of liquidators.
- First should release WBTC-B and then go for B.Protocol WBTC Vault.
- Upsides: having committed liquidators = more capital being bid = more auction throughput.
- Downside: lose penalty fees.
- Kurt: B.Protocol is already written and therefore not complicated.
- Have to hash out some community concerns and feedback through Forum posts or informal polls.
