[**Motion 313**](https://kusama.polkassembly.io/motion/313) is now up for vote: proposing to open the second auction on Kusama Network, for the next 7 days. The preimage, as follows:

`auctions::newAuctions(duration, lease_period_index)`
- `duration`: 27000 (45hs: 3 less overall hours to give time for the winner to be picked)
- `lease_period_index`: 13 (current lease period)
- `threshold`: 13 / 19 council (greater than 2/3)
- Ending period: will be an additional 5 days (this is hardcoded on-chain)

Please vote at your convenience!

 Create a new auction.

 This can only happen when there isn't already an auction in progress and may only be
 called by the root origin. Accepts the `duration` of this auction and the
 `lease_period_index` of the initial lease period of the four that are to be auctioned.
