Auctions on Kusama are scheduled using the Scheduler Pallet. Referendum 72 was proposed on Kusama through root Track given that the Scheduler Pallet can’t be called by the Auctions Admin (this PR will change that). Due to voting turnout, Referendum 72 will not be executed before the first scheduled call, set to happen at block height #16_367_188. This means that the first batch of auctions for LP27 will not be executed, as the scheduler pallet does not allow the execution of an action in a past block (the other batches will be scheduled).
In order to alleviate the demand of auctions (teams that need to renovate their slot during LP27 to keep uptime of their parachains will not be able to do so, therefore having to interrupt their service to the community) we have proposed the following two referenda, up for vote now and scheduling 3 auctions from next week:
This referendum aims to schedule the following 2 auctions (after [the 1st one scheduled by this proposal) using the scheduler pallet via Root Caller. The new Scheduler call will need to execute before block #16_568_788. If submitted today (27/Jan), then it should work for every case scenario, based on the current support percentages.
