Are NNS users generally “allowed” to use the NnsCanisterUpgrade to propose to upgrade any canister on the IC? Or is this limited to canisters on the NNS subnet? If anyone can make the proposal, How would one produce it? It looks like it may be protobuf? Is there a tool to take the canister ID, was…

Hi @skilesare , for me the main question is whether we talk about the technical question how this can be done or the more general question whether as an NNS community we want to use the NNS in this way. Technically, anyone can submit such a proposal. For the more general question, I personally thi…

So I take it that the answer to my first question is: Yes. nns_function_id 4 can install a wasm for any canister(is there any technical limitation? Like does the controller need to be the nns root? Or can it just install regardless of the controller?) And this is possible for any subnet(Does this in…

[image] lara: First, any call to potentially insecure canisters puts the NNS canisters under danger in the current messaging model due to call contexts that could remain open etc. This might change with the new messaging model, but first the NNS canisters would then have to use this. Why is t…

[image] skilesare: (is there any technical limitation? Like does the controller need to be the nns root? Or can it just install regardless of the controller?) And this is possible for any subnet(Does this include rental subnets?) Yes, at present, the NNS root would need to be the controller o…

Just to address the “how” part of the question, one can use the ic-admin (released as part of the IC repo like this ) and the propose-to-change-nns-canister command . To test locally, you can use --nns-url (pointing to the local replica) and --secret-key-pem arguments. Note that we are actually swit…

Ok…nice…so InstallCode will be the InstallCode Type encoded as candid?

If you use ic-admin you don’t have to worry about encoding. But yes, under the hood it just sends a an update call to the NNS Governance canister manage_neuron method, using candid encoding.

Sorry for so many questions… Do I need to do something to run it? After unzipping and trying to run from the command line I get: /Users/afat/Downloads/ic-admin-x86_64-darwin: command not found Am I going to pass it candid as parameters? What are the possible values of mode on the command line? I…

Hmm… I’m not sure about “command not found”. Please make sure that the file exist and is executable (I run chmod +x after downloading it, and macOS always complains about running unknown programs and I have to go to system settings to allow it). Here is an example command for a local replica: ic-a…

[image] lara: Second, if we want the NNS to be even more active and decentralised, I think we should be very conscious what we put under NNS control and put less rather than more there. Already today it requires quite some effort to keep up with all proposals, even just deciding who to follow on…
