The submitter of Proposal 8 has requested the Council to cancel his proposal (aiming to increase the number of validators on the network to 259) claiming the submission was an error on his side.
The beginning of the discussion can be read here.
We have gone through the process of verifying the user is indeed in control of the address: The Remark call with the same GitHub username can be read on the call, executed this morning upon request.
The submitter is aware of the consequences of the cancellation. Motion 41 cancels proposal 8 as requested.
All councillors, please vote at your convenience.
