Kusama auctions are scheduled using the Scheduler Pallet, and the recurring functionality that this brings. The recurrence of this pallet offers two options: every how many blocks this recurrent should be executed, and how many times. Unfortunately, [Ref 72](https://kusama.subsquare.io/referenda/referendum/72) and [Ref 81](https://kusama.subsquare.io/referenda/referendum/81) have been misconfigured and the two parameters on the scheduler pallet have been passed in the wrong way: For example, the first scheduler call will not create 2 auctions every 100_800 blocks, but rather 100_800 auctions every two blocks.

**Solution:** both Ref 72 and Ref 81 will have to be cancelled and re-submitted on-chain.

For this, we will work on 3 proposals:

1. Whitelisted caller track proposal cancelling scheduled auctions + ref81;
2. Auction admin track proposal for the first auction on Ref81: this will give us one more week to vote on the third proposal;
3. Root track proposal for all auctions in ref72 + the last auction batch of ref81. 

The first proposal is now submitted and is THIS ONE - this proposal aims to cancel all scheduled auctions that are incorrect on scheduler:

And [referendum 81](https://kusama.polkassembly.io/referenda/81): up for vote on Root track now. The reason why we are cancelling this proposal is due to the fact the same mistake was made on submission. 

Please note a Fellowship proposal is also needed, up for vote now by its members, to whitelist this proposal hash to make sure the proposal executes successfully.

This has been submitted.

 - Two Referendums, Refs. 72 and 81, have been misconfigured and need to be cancelled and re-submitted, and three proposals have been created to whitelist the caller/address, create the first auction of Ref 81, and create all auctions of Ref 72 and the last auction batch of Ref 81. A fellowship proposal has also been created to whitelist the proposal hash, so it can execute successfully.
