There are calls for Michiko, who has recently been voted as a Polkadot Head Ambassador to proof their persona as it is otherwise thought to be fake persona. There is little activity and participation in calls, little or no evidence of their contributions to Polkadot and worse, their accounts are funded through Kraken which is banned in Japan. Leemo proposes to set a proposal to remove Michiko if adequate proof isn't provided. Really calls a lot to question.
Integritee has proposed a new runtime upgrade(v520).

Polkadot Head Ambassador Irina Karagyar has signed a MOU with the Founder Institute and is seeking the support of the community via Referendum #755 on the OpenGov Wish for Change track. The Founder Institute is the world’s largest pre-seed startup accelerator. Founder Institute Alumni have raised a total $1.75 billion in funding to create a portfolio of companies worth in excess of $30 billion. The MOU proposes a strategic collaboration with Polkadot for the inaugural Web3 cohort of their pre-seed acceleration Core Program. Web3 Startup founders in the cohort will be able to benefit from the mentorship of Polkadot ecosystem experts, while Polkadot gains the opportunity to showcase its technology to promising new projects and build its presence in the Founder Institute network.
