IMPORTANT NOTE ON THIS UPGRADE:

Assuming Referendum 96 passes, Polkadot will upgrade to runtime v9340 on Saturday 14 Jan. This will have several effects: please read below!

First, any outstanding multisig calls (ones where one signatory has signed, but not the threshold) will not be able to execute. Please either finish your multisig calls before this upgrade, or wait until after it is completed. https://github.com/paritytech/substrate/pull/12072.

All preimages and the dispatch queue will be cleared. Any Referenda already passed but not enacted will thus not execute. If the Referendum is ongoing, the preimage can be re-uploaded after the upgrade. https://github.com/paritytech/substrate/pull/11649.

A proposal is made to upgrade Polkadot to a new version called v9340.
This upgrade is only about the software used and does not include a new client.
The new version will replace older versions, v9320 and v9330.
The Polkadot Council will decide if the proposal can be voted on by the community.
If the council agrees, the vote will happen on January 14.
Some important changes will happen after the upgrade, like stopping certain unfinished tasks.
Any votes that have passed but not started will not go ahead until after the update.
