This new proposal aims to enact the same as [motion 157](https://polkadot.polkassembly.io/motion/157): to temporarily increase the nomination limit to `160` DOTs. This allows for the permissionless `chill_other` transaction to be used and prune the number of nominators, in order to keep the nomination ecosystem of Polkadot active, whilst we wait for the enactment of the next runtime upgrade on Polkadot.

The enacted proposal unfortunately contained a major flaw: the numerical values are not in DOTs, but rather in PLANKs, the smallest unit of the DOT currency. Thus, the correct value for minimum nominator bond should have been set to `160 * (10^10)`, i.e. `1600,000,000,000`.
 
All values are unchanged except for `minNominatorBond`.

The correct call hash and data:

- Call data: `0x071700806e877401000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001e457000001b0040000015a`

- Call hash: `0xbdf1c925dbca9e1e55de029db3786ea71949ff872e5b53588f46d0db6ccae379`

- Polkadot is a platform that allows people to nominate validators to help secure the network.
- A proposal was made to temporarily increase the nomination limit to 160 DOTs to keep the nomination ecosystem active.
- The proposal had a mistake where the numerical values were not in DOTs, but in PLANKs, the smallest unit of the DOT currency.
- The correct value for minimum nominator bond should have been set to 160 * (10^10), i.e. 1600,000,000,000.
- All values are unchanged except for minNominatorBond.
