## Team-led Discussions

### Core Unit Operations

#### Budgeting, Accounting, and Reporting

- We need to focus on all Core Units to present their operations efficiently and correctly.
- Poor or late information hurts RWF production of Core Unit reports.
- It can be difficult for facilitators to manage their Core Unit finances at an optimal level.
- There is community support for a CU finances team to help all Core Units.
- There are spreadsheets that help with forward guidance, account, and more; ask PECU, RWF, and SES.
- However, getting all the information takes some time.
- How would you structure large upfront costs into the DSSvest stream?
- You would need those funds from the beginning or account some of them into the initial budget.
- Derek is planning to present a review of these spreadsheets.
- Are we employees or contractors under MakerDAO?
- How can we correctly set up an Accounting Core Unit?
- Nadia hired an accountant for GRO-001 finances.
- It will be very helpful for optimizing and gauging the success of new initiatives if we have access to all Core Units accounting.

#### Cross-Function Initiative Coordination

- How well are we aware of all Core Unit initiatives, internal communication, and understand Core Unit schedules?
- The problem with cross-functional Core Unit initiatives is that they require transparency and public communication.
- Maker needs to be more straightforward with communication on forums to support collaterals and their failsafe or liquidations.

### Adding Support for the 1BPS GUNI Pool

- [Onboard G-UNI for UniV3’s new 0.01% fee tier](https://forum.makerdao.com/t/g-uni-dai-usdc-0-01-tier-onboard-g-uni-for-univ3s-new-0-01-fee-tier/11738)
- Most of the volume will go through the 1BPS pool, and it makes sense to support it.
- Should improve liquidity and leverage same as done with the 5BPS pool.
- What are methods to be more efficient with handling these types of collaterals?
- It will be very easy to onboard the 1BPS pool.
- We can point a D3M at the AAVE GUNI market for better results.
- But if we have to jump around a lot, we can try to delegate for another protocol to do it for us.
- We can reduce oracle costs and poke time to better levels that are still low risk.
- What is PPG's position on this?
- PPG is watching the fees, and it needs to be unwinded.

### SES Core Unit Review
