Based on the conversations the Zeitgeist team had with TC in the last days, and taking into account the same issue appeared for the team on Kusama and the fix was approved by the community (see [HERE](https://kusama.polkassembly.io/referendum/251)), this proposal is now submitted as external motion for consideration of the Council, before making it to referenda queue for the final decision. 

You can find the contextual information on this proposal by the Zeitgeist team [HERE](https://hackmd.io/PXotv7zMTSOphZFg4f99iQ) or below:

### What Happened

The runtime that is now deployed on Polkadot was prepared before the ParaId was obtained. During local testing rococo-local was used as the relay chain. The parachain was onboarded using another ParaId than the one within the runtime and the parachain was capable of producing blocks and functioning as expected. Assuming that everything is fine, the same runtime was used to bid in the parachain auction using a different ParaId than the one noted in the prepared runtime. As it turns out, the parachain is uncapable of producing blocks on Polkadot due to a ParaId mismatch.

About the same time Zeitgeist also bid for a slot on Kusama to execute a slot lease swap. The testing procedure was the same and also resulted in success, however the chain was also uncapable of producing blocks. If those two events were temporaly further apart, the human error would only have happened once. Unfortunately we are forced into the highly aggrevating situation to ask the governance body twice to fix our Parachain, once for Kusama (proposal) and once for Polkadot.

### Remedy

To fix the bricked chain, the chainspec used for Zeitgeist’s parachain on Polkadot must use 2092 within ParachainInfo::ParaId. To inform Polkadot about the new state root that results from the updated chainspec, paras.forceSetCurrentHead(2092, genesisHead) has to be invoked by the Root origin, whereas genesisHead is set to the resulting genesis state head that is derived from the new chainspec.

We also want to supply a new runtime. It is much more recent (polkadot-v0.9.29 instead of polkadot-v0.9.19).

### Council Proposal

We are aware of the recent discussion around the technical council circumventing due process on governance here: [https://forum.polkadot.network/t/how-to-recover-a-parachain/673/23](https://forum.polkadot.network/t/how-to-recover-a-parachain/673/23) and withdrawing from fixing broken parachains. However there is currently not a best practice solution other then avoiding mistakes.

Our humble request to the Technical Committee is to fast-rack this proposal, this is purely a technical hotfix to get the chain started the first time. 

### Proof of Authenticity

To proof that this request is authentic, the manager of ParaId 2092 does provide a signed statement of approval.

 Summary:
- Zeitgeist team encountered a ParaId mismatch when trying to onboard a parachain onto Polkadot and Kusama
- They need to fix the bricked chain, meaning the chainspec must use 2092 within ParachainInfo::ParaId
- They also want to supply a more recent runtime, polkadot-v0.9.29
- They are requesting the Technical Committee to fast-track the proposal before it enters the referenda queue for final evaluation by the community.
