2. How would an increase in RWA affect MakerDAO from your stakeholder's perspective?&#x20;
3. Groups identify potential risks and benefits (e.g., governance, financial, regulatory) that are **important to their roles**.&#x20;
4. Groups are free to choose the format of risk assessments (quantitative, qualitative, or both).
5. As a class, groups discuss their risk assessments.
