This is a follow-up proposal to motion [#495](https://kusama.polkassembly.io/motion/495), which limited the number of nomination pools to 64 in Kusama (and 16 members per pool) to prevent the spread of a bug regarding the reward payout. [Runtime 9271](https://kusama.subsquare.io/democracy/referendum/225) (enacted in block #14,248,044) contains a fix for this bug, **and the staking team has observed no further issues with nomination pools.**

Therefore, this proposal aims **to lift the limits imposed on the nomination pools by motion 495**: the new limits are 256 total pools and 1024 members per pool. Recall that even these limits are just a safeguard and in practice no limit on the number of pools and members per pool exist.
