### Summary of the Proposal

- The proposal aims to temporarily increase the nomination limit to 160 DOTs.
- It allows the `chill_other` transaction to be used to manage the number of nominators.
- The previous proposal had a major flaw: the values were in PLANKs instead of DOTs.
- The correct value for the minimum nominator bond should be `1600,000,000,000` PLANKs.
- Only the `minNominatorBond` value is changed in this proposal.
- The correct call data and hash are provided for the proposal.

### Phala Network Parachain Issue

- Phala Network (ID: 2035) recently became a parachain.
- The team discovered a misconfiguration in the genesis runtime.
- Both sudo and democracy are disabled, preventing runtime upgrades.
- Without relaychain assistance, the parachain will be "bricked."
- The team proposed a `Paras.forceSetCurrentCode` call to fix this.
- Proposal hash: `0x7af427aa7665a073ca61b83c04791f185d9170ea2e49a8a7be323650cea8b75f`
- More details are available in the discussion link: [Polkassembly Post](https://polkadot.polkassembly.io/post/1005).

[BROKEN] Reorganize Advisory Committee

- Polkadot planned to remove the 120 DOT nomination limit with the 0.9.16 upgrade.
- The 0.9.16 upgrade was delayed due to issues on Kusama.
- The number of nominators in Polkadot reached the 22,500 limit.
- A temporary increase to 160 DOTs is proposed to manage the nomination limit.
- This change allows the `chill_other` transaction to help prune nominators.
- The proposal aims to keep the nomination ecosystem active while waiting for the 0.9.16 upgrade.
- The `minNominatorBond` value is the only change in the proposal.
- The proposal includes a call hash and call data for reference.

Polkadot’s Update to 160 DOTs as minimum nomination limit: The Reason

Reorganize Advisory Committee

- Shell upgraded Statemint's runtime, but block production failed due to key type mismatch.
- Aura uses sr25519 keys, but Statemint's genesis keys were ed25519.
- A temporary runtime was created to allow ed25519 keys in Aura.
- This fix will be enacted on the Relay Chain for validator signature validation.
- Once block production resumes, Aura will be upgraded back to sr25519 keys.
- Call hash: `0x0e21b5233c7591ee89eca0cae71cf9a9a4c45fe2393075ab33361a673f5d322d`
