**Motion 213 is submitted: Kusama runtime update to v2023**

Upgrade priority: **MEDIUM**

All Councillors please vote at your convenience.The preimage can be verified in the release notes

 Schedule the currently externally-proposed majority-carries referendum to be tabled
 immediately. If there is no externally-proposed referendum currently, or if there is one
 but it is not a majority-carries referendum then it fails.

 The dispatch of this call must be `FastTrackOrigin`.

 - `proposal_hash`: The hash of the current external proposal.
 - `voting_period`: The period that is allowed for voting on this proposal. Increased to
   `FastTrackVotingPeriod` if too low.
 - `delay`: The number of block after voting has ended in approval and this should be
   enacted. This doesn't have a minimum amount.

 Emits `Started`.

 Set the new runtime code.

 # <weight>
 - `O(C + S)` where `C` length of `code` and `S` complexity of `can_set_code`
 - 1 storage write (codec `O(C)`).
 - 1 call to `can_set_code`: `O(S)` (calls `sp_io::misc::runtime_version` which is expensive).
 - 1 event.
 The weight of this function is dependent on the runtime, but generally this is very expensive.
 We will treat this as a full block.
 # </weight>

- A motion has been submitted to update the Kusama runtime to version 2023.
- The upgrade priority is medium.
- The runtime update includes changes to the Kusama Council seats and Runners Up numbers.
