### Proposal Summary

- **Objective**: Increase available cores from 55 to 60.
- **Purpose**: Ensure enough cores are available in case a parachain fails to renew its core.
- **Discussion**: No technical objections raised by the Technical Fellowship.
- **Action**: Call `broker.requestCoreCount(60)` as superuser on the Coretime Chain.
- **Message Structure**: Sends an XCM message to parachain 1005 requesting 60 cores.
- **Instructions**: 
  - Instruction 0: Uses superuser privilege to avoid fees.
  - Instruction 1: Contains the actual request for the Coretime Chain.
- **Verification**: Values for `refTime` and `proofSize` are confirmed to be sufficient by the Fellowship.

WHO: Not specified
WHAT: Requesting to raise available cores from 55 to 60 on the market in case of existing parachain missing to renew its core.
PRICE/TIMEFRAME/RESOURCES: Not specified.

Raise available cores to 60

- BOTLabs GmbH registered Kusama parachains 2086 and 2108 for the KILT Protocol.
- Parachain 2086 was the legacy Spiritnet, which 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.
- Verify the signature of parachain 2086: `0xe4458ecaaaa955dd4d73f43f25f4792a2fd0b003a2bc5e0b2eb2868ff98af916fd5bee389105e47fb771ee633e3248097c890624ad7416e9e82d6ea6f4b7cc80`.
- Signature for 2108 is not necessary as the call was 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

### Summary of Acala Foundation's Parachain Issues

- Acala Foundation won a parachain slot auction with Para ID 2233, intending to renew Karura's lease.
- Para ID 2233 is locked and in a bad state, requiring root track management.
- Acala proposed [RFC-14](https://github.com/polkadot-fellows/RFCs/pull/14) to fix the issue and improve the parachain lock mechanism.
- A draft implementation is available at [GitHub PR #7560](https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot/pull/7560).
- Polkadot Fellowship's takeover of Polkadot runtime is delaying the process.
- Acala wants to perform a lease swap between Karura (Para ID 2000) and Para ID 2233 using root track.
- If RFC-14 is enacted, future lease swaps and state updates could be self-serviced, reducing the need for root track governance.

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

### Summary of Kabocha Parachain Lease Transition

- **Current Situation**: Kabocha's parachain lease (paraid 2113) is ending, and a new lease (paraid 2268) has been secured.
- **Issue**: The parathread automatically upgraded to a parachain, locking lease swaps, requiring a root referendum to resolve.
- **Proposed Solution**: A root referendum to batch several actions:
  1. Deregister paraid 2113.
  2. Force register paraid 2113 under a new pure proxy account.
  3. Swap paraids 2113 and 2268.
- **Validation**: On-chain remarks from involved accounts to confirm intent.
- **Deposit**: The fee for setting the parachain PVF and head is approximately 280.3 KSM.
- **Outcome**: The proposal was passed and executed successfully, with Kabocha resuming block production.

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.

- Transactions for registration can be found [here](https://kusama.subscan.io/extrinsic/0x90433dd2c428e38104709393a35d41e051c353fb175eeb93d2240fa1aef7f13c) and [here](https://kusama.subscan.io/extrinsic/0x0e2ad064d107abe9dca42f6be2f37ec27fa2b2858d847c62af8b87af38ad3975).
- A signature was provided to prove ownership of the registration address.

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.

Remove lock for Bifrost swapped parachain id (2259 & 2262)

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.

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
