The proposal **sets a limit on the maximum number of validators**, namely `1200`, and leaves the rest of the parameters unchanged (`20000`/`20DOTs`) for nominators. This proposal started as an **external motion**, meaning that if the Council passes this, the community needs to vote in referenda queue to be executed. 

The validator community should be aware that the discussion around minimum DOT stake limit for validators (similar to what was imposed recently on nominators) has already begun [on the Polkadot Direction channel](https://matrix.to/#/!OwgojQyBzTlUQGGLhq:matrix.parity.io?via=matrix.parity.io&via=matrix.org&via=corepaper.org), and will be proposed **as soon as discussion reaches consensus**. Similar to the nominator limits, **these limits are for the safety of the network and will grow as the network grows.**

Context on why this is needed and an explanation of the scaling issues we are seeing on Polkadot Network can be found on the [last runtime upgrade post](https://polkadot.polkassembly.io/motion/88).

Problem Statement:
- The problem is the need to set a limit on the maximum number of validators in order to address scaling issues on the Polkadot Network.

Significance:
- The proposal is significant because it aims to ensure the safety and scalability of the network by setting limits for validators.

Proposed Solution:
- The proposal sets a limit of 1200 validators, while leaving other parameters unchanged for nominators.

Expected Outcomes:
- The expected outcome is a safer and more scalable network, with limits that can grow as the network grows.
