Hi Community,
Prayag from the Pendulum team was begging offline collators to come back online or proactively leave the collator set. There amount of collators in the set which didn't participate in consensus (due to being offline) was slowing the chain by 50% causing bad impact on all network participants.
After more than 2 weeks the collators in question still did not return to action, therefore I initiated a governance proposal to furcefully remove these nodes from the collator set to restore constant blocktimes on amplitude.
There have been 7 collators intending to leave the set but still idling in the queue. I triggered the leaveCandidates for all these:

Furthermore there is a list of collators that did not signal an intend to leave but still are offline for more than 2 weeks now.&nbsp; These collators will be forcefully removed by this proposal:

Send a batch of dispatch calls and atomically execute them.
The whole transaction will rollback and fail if any of the calls failed.

May be called from any origin except `None`.

- `calls`: The calls to be dispatched from the same origin. The number of call must not
  exceed the constant: `batched_calls_limit` (available in constant metadata).

If origin is root then the calls are dispatched without checking origin filter. (This
includes bypassing `frame_system::Config::BaseCallFilter`).

## Complexity
- O(C) where C is the number of calls to be batched.

- Prayag from the Pendulum team wants collators to come back online or leave the collator set.
- Some collators have been offline for more than 2 weeks and are slowing down the network.
- A proposal has been made to forcefully remove these collators from the set.
- There are 7 collators who want to leave but are still in the queue.
- There are also collators who have been offline for more than 2 weeks and will be forcefully removed.
