Encointer has a new code upgrade which
* allows participants to unregister from ceremony cycles. This will help us decrease noshows and increase security by doing so
* allows reputables to endorse newbies. This is a massive improvement for growth. Before, only bootstrappers could endorse a one-off amount of newbies. Now, everybody that has recently proven their personhood can endorse a small number (~2-5, TBD) of newbies with every cycle. This is very much in line with the "word of mouth" growth strategy 
* upgrades our dependencies to polkadot-0.9.28

Detailed changes to our [runtime](https://github.com/encointer/encointer-parachain/compare/1.2.0...1.3.2) and to our [pallets](https://github.com/encointer/pallets/compare/1.2.0...1.3.2)


[runtime release v12 in our GH repository](https://github.com/encointer/encointer-parachain/releases/tag/1.3.2)

# OpenGov Theory

We would like our runtime upgrade to be whitelisted by the fellowship. As a common good parachain we can't upgrade ourselves and the runtime upgrade needs a knowledgeable review which the fellowship is able to provide. It would be possible to submit to the root track directly, but that is expected to take too long to be practical (~28d) because of very restricitive support thresholds.

The gov2 process in pseudocode for sending a whitelisted XCM with Superuser origin is as follows:

```
// The actual proposal to enact. (no need to note this as a preimage)
let proposal = xcmPallet.send(...);

// Whitelist the `proposal` for dispatch from `WhitelistedCaller`.
let whitelistProposal = whitelist.whitelistCall(hash: hash(proposal));
let preimageWL = preimage.notePreimage(whitelistProposal);

// Whitelists the `proposal` from the Fellowship. 
// This has to be submitted by any member of felllowship (No matter the rank)
let fellowshipReferendum = fellowshipReferenda.submit(
  proposalOrigin: Origins.Fellowship3Dan,
  proposal: Lookup {
    hash: preimageWL.hash, 
    len: preimageWL.len
  },
  ...
);

// Now the fellowship has to vote.....

// The following public referendum can already start. However, the proposal must be whitelisted before the public referendum is enacted

// Dispatch the `proposal` from `WhitelistedCaller`.
let dispatchProposal = dispatchWhitelistedCallWithPreimage(
  call: proposal,
);
let preimageD = preimage.notePreimage(dispatchProposal)

// Dispatches the proposal as long as it has been whitelisted before enacted.
let publicReferendum = referenda.submit(
  proposalOrigin: Origins.WhitelistedCaller,
  proposal: Lookup {
    hash: preimageD.hash,
    len: preimageD.len
  },
  ...
);
```

## public referendum

propose to dispatch the whitelisted call
