This Referendum cancels [Referendum 211](https://polkadot.polkassembly.io/referenda/211), which proposes to upgrade the Polkadot relay chain runtime to v1000000.  However, the call for Ref 211 is incorrect, so I am proposing that it be cancelled so that people do not unnecessarily vote on it.

There is an issue with the upgrade call on Referendum 211, so even if it passes, it will not execute. Specifically, the weight is set too high, so it will never pass. A new runtime upgrade is in preparation. 

This was discovered via the equivalent runtime upgrade, [Ref 297](https://kusama.polkassembly.io/referenda/297),  on Kusama failing. In the enactment block, however, the execution failed and the runtime did not upgrade - for details, you can see [the event here](https://kusama.subscan.io/block/20435000?tab=event&event=20435000-0).

Note - this proposal _cancels_ 211, it does not _kill_ it, i.e., it does _not_ slash the submission or decision deposits.

- Problem Statement: The intended audience is the Polkadot community. The problem is that Referendum 211, proposing an upgrade to the Polkadot relay chain runtime, has an incorrect call and will not execute even if passed due to a high weight setting.
- Significance: The issue was discovered when the equivalent runtime upgrade on Kusama (Ref 297) failed. This failure could lead to unnecessary voting and wasted resources.
- Proposed Solution: The author proposes to cancel Referendum 211 to prevent unnecessary voting. It's important to note that this action will not slash the submission or decision deposits.
- Expected Outcomes: The cancellation of Referendum 211 will prevent wastage of votes and resources. A new runtime upgrade is being prepared to address the issue.
