Executed

The parathread 3390 was originally set up for testing purposes and operated successfully for ~20 days. Unfortunately the collator along with its state was deleted before unlocking the parathread. Therefore, we are unable to deregister the parathread. We propose to deregister this chain via governance.
The proposer account owns parathread 3390, please feel free to verify.

Raise available cores to 60

- BOTLabs GmbH registered two Kusama parachains (2086 and 2108) for the KILT Protocol.
- Parachain 2086 was used for Spiritnet but is no longer needed since KILT moved to Polkadot in October 2022.
- Parachain 2108 was used to bid for a new lease but was later swapped to 2086.
- Both parachains are no longer required.
- Unlocking a parachain was not supported at the time of registration.
- A proposal is made to deregister both chains through governance.
- The signature for parachain 2086 is provided for verification.

BOTLabs GmbH registered Kusama parachains 2086 and 2108 for the benefit of the KILT Protocol. Kusama ParaID 2086 is the legacy Spiritnet which is not required anymore since KILT moved to Polkadot in October 2022. 2108 was used to bid for a new lease which was later swapped to 2086. Both chains are no longer required, but at the time of registration, unlocking a parachain was not supported. We therefore propose to deregister both chains via governance. Please verify the signatures of both registrar accounts for 2086 and 2108.
SIgnature of parachain 2086: <code>0xe4458ecaaaa955dd4d73f43f25f4792a2fd0b003a2bc5e0b2eb2868ff98af916fd5bee389105e47fb771ee633e3248097c890624ad7416e9e82d6ea6f4b7cc80</code>
Signature for 2108 not necessary, beacuse call submitted with that account.

BOTLabs GmbH proposes to deregister Kusama parachains 2086 and 2108, which are no longer required for the KILT Protocol. They request governance to verify the signature of the registrar account for 2086. No price, timeframe, or resources mentioned.

[Root] Referendum #279: NIS Target

- Acala Foundation won a parachain slot auction for Para ID 2233 to renew Karura's lease.
- Para ID 2233 is locked and in a bad state, needing root track to fix it.
- A proposal called RFC-14 was made to fix the issue and improve the parachain lock system.
- A draft solution was created but is waiting for approval.
- The Polkadot Fellowship is taking over Polkadot runtime, which is causing delays.
- A lease swap between Karura (Para ID 2000) and Para ID 2233 is suggested to fix the issue now.
- Once RFC-14 is approved, future lease swaps won't need root track help.

The proposal suggests performing a lease swap between Karura and Para ID 2233 to fix the bad state and improve the parachain lock mechanism. The timeframe and resources required for the implementation are uncertain due to the ongoing process of taking over the ownership of Polkadot runtime.

Perform lease swap for Karura

- A referendum is being proposed to change how Kusama's spending works.
- Some spending limits and decision-making rules will be updated.
- For example, the "Small Spender" limit will go from 333 KSM to 100 KSM.
- The "Big Spender" limit will change from 33,333 KSM to 2,500 KSM.
- Some decision periods will also be longer, like the Treasurer's preparation period going from 2 hours to 48 hours.
- A video explaining the changes was removed from YouTube but is available on Twitter.
- The changes are detailed on GitHub and discussed in the Kusama community forums.

Rejected

WHO: Adam Steeber

WHAT: Prepared a referendum to reconfigure Kusama's runtime spending tracks.

- The plan includes deregistering the old paraid, registering it under a new account, and swapping paraids.
- They need community support and validation to make sure the process works.
- On-chain remarks from involved accounts will confirm the changes.
- The deposit for registering the new paraid is about 280.3KSM.
- The process is complex but aims to keep Kabocha running smoothly.

WHO: The proposer is seeking the community's views.

WHAT: The proposer wants to move a parachain from one account to another and resolve other long-term issues.

- Bifrost is a parachain on Kusama that recently renewed its lease.
- Two parachains (paraid 2259 and 2262) need help to unlock 700 KSM.
- The address used to register these parachains is **J3dfxSNbUHwBbmB4My7DCgrNniQ227uTUNqqf4KB1DhyZkR**.
- Transactions for registration are linked.
- A signature proves the address belongs to Bifrost.
- The message confirms paraid 2259 and 2262 belong to Bifrost.
- A referendum is being submitted to unlock these parachains.

Bifrost requests community assistance to execute the `remove_lock` function to withdraw the previous 700 KSM locking for two parachains. The registration address is J3dfxSNbUHwBbmB4My7DCgrNniQ227uTUNqqf4KB1DhyZkR.

Polkawatch aims to fully integrate its analytics in the Polkadot Staking Dashboard, improve the Staking Dashboard Plugin system, and implement a different GeoLocation strategy using p2plib DHT. The milestone includes strategic developments and minimizes continued operation costs, currently at $2.9K per month. The project aims to reduce dependency on the Treasury and provide further funding options through parachain support. The timeframe for the project is until 2023H2, with 50% retroactive operation.

Elektro, a professional translator and Polkadot enthusiast, proposes to provide Italian voice-over for the first video of Polkadot 2023. The final price per minute will be $13.70, covering the costs of proofreading, audio editing, production, and voice-over recording. The proposal aims to address issues such as incomplete information, misinformation, and language barriers in the Italian community. Elektro also emphasizes the importance of creating high-quality resources in major world languages for a multi-lingual Polkadot.

MISTAKE - Wrong track, my apologies

- A referendum is proposed to increase the Treasury's revenue by staking KSM in nomination pools.
- 120,000 KSM will be moved from the Society to the Treasury.
- 270,000 KSM will be staked across 9 nomination pools using proxy accounts controlled by the Treasury.
- The Treasury will earn rewards from staking, increasing its revenue by ~43,000 KSM per year.
- The first rewards are expected around May 6th.
- This solution is decentralized and doesn’t require a runtime upgrade.
- The community can adjust the plan if needed by proposing new referenda.
- Testing was done to ensure the process works as intended.

Kusama Treasury Staking Configuration

- This Referendum aims to cancel proposals that were approved but failed to enact due to a UI misconfiguration.
- The issue was caused by a misinterpretation of the `after` parameter, which is a delay in blocks, not an absolute block number.
- As a result, some referenda were set to enact years later, such as Referenda 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10, and 11.
- These referenda were expected to be approved between 1025 and 1100 days from now.
- Teams have already resubmitted their proposals with corrected parameters.
- The Referendum proposes to cancel these delayed proposals to avoid future complications.

WHO: The Referendum proposer
WHAT: Cancel proposals approved by the community but failed to enact on time due to UI misconfiguration
