# Head Ambassador Seeding Vote

These are the steps necessary to start a referendum to be included into the intitial seeding list of the Ambassador Program as Head Ambassador.

## 1. Prepare the Preimage on the Collectives Chain
- Go to PolkadotJS and decode [this](https://polkadot.js.org/apps/?rpc=wss%3A%2F%2Frpc-collectives-polkadot.luckyfriday.io#/extrinsics/decode/0x28041049046c9e3102dd2c24274667d416e07570ebce6f20ab80ee3fc9917bf4a7568b8fd249056c9e3102dd2c24274667d416e07570ebce6f20ab80ee3fc9917bf4a7568b8fd2010049056c9e3102dd2c24274667d416e07570ebce6f20ab80ee3fc9917bf4a7568b8fd2020049056c9e3102dd2c24274667d416e07570ebce6f20ab80ee3fc9917bf4a7568b8fd20300) extrinsic.
- Click on `Submission` to modify the parameters:
- 
- Replace the addess in both fields with your address.
- Copy the `encoded call data` (not the hash!)
- 
- This will look different for everyone.

## 2. Prepare the Preimage on the Relay chain
- Go to the Relay chain with [this](https://polkadot.js.org/apps/?rpc=wss%3A%2F%2Frockx-dot.w3node.com%2Fpolka-public-dot%2Fws#/extrinsics/decode/0x630004000100a50f04082f000006030300286bee42420f00b47265706c616365206d6520776974682074686520636f6c6c6563746976657320707265696d6167652064617461) link.
- Click on `Submission` again and paste the preimage from above in the `call: XcmDoubleEncoded` field in the bottom:
- 
- You can add more applications by adding more `Transact` items to the `XCM` here:
- 
- Once you are done, again copy the `encoded call data`.

## 3. Place the preimage on the Relay Chain
- Go to `Developer->Extrinsic`
- Create a `Preimage::notePreimage(bytes)` extrinsic.
- The bytes are pasted from the relay preimage that we created above.
- 
- Click on `Submit Transaction`. Note that it will reserve a deposit for the preimage; having about 50 DOT on the address is a good idea.
- Go to `Governance->Preimages` and find youre preimage there:
- It should look something like this:
- 
- Copy the `Hash` and `Length` for later.
- If you want to double-check these values, you can go to `Developer->Storage` and query `Preimage::preimageFor` with these details. It should print the Relay Preimage that was pasted in there earlier:
- 

## 4. Create Referendum
- Go to Subsquare track 13: https://polkadot.subsquare.io/referenda/tracks/13
- Click on `New Proposal`
- Paste in the preimage hash and length from above. This must be correct, otherwise it won't work!

## 5. Testing

- Clone the [moonbeam-tools](https://github.com/Moonsong-Labs/moonbeam-tools) repo.
- Run a local chopstick fork of the Polkadot Relay and Collectives parachain with: `npx @acala-network/chopsticks@latest xcm -r polkadot -p polkadot-collectives`
- Run the proposal with: `npx ts-node src/tools/fast-execute-chopstick-proposal.ts --url ws://localhost:8001 --proposal-index NUMBER` Be sure to replace`NUMBER` with your referendum index.
- If you get a weird Javascript error, then try `npm install` first inside the repo.
- Now go to the local chopstick collectives chain [here](https://polkadot.js.org/apps/?rpc=ws%3A%2F%2F127.0.0.1%3A8000#/chainstate) and check for `Developer->Chain State` and query `AmbassadorCollective->members` and uncheck the checkbox. Then you should see your account in the list:
