- 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.
