**Motion 62 upgrading Polkadot Runtime to v28 is up for vote.**

**Some interesting changes:** treasury tip slashes, free participation in Council governance for first-timers, refactor treasury pallet, changes for validators session keys to account for parachains, Introduction of account existence providers reference counting and extensive multiaddress format in all runtimes. 

Release notes, runtime changes and hash can be found [here](https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot/releases/tag/v0.8.28).

 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.
