Nice to see this up. LFG!
Assuming all goes well, it sounds like the schedule would be:

- on chain: Jan 20
- upgrade: week of Jan 27th
Is that right?
Close, but not exactly 
The schedule is as follows:
- Jan 12: on forum
- Jan 14: testnet upgrade
- Jan 16: proposal on-chain
- Jan 29: upgrade
Because this upgrade is really just a few dependency bumps, we hope that the shorter time period on the forum won’t be a problem.
Looks like a great release, let’s do it
Great to see the minor fixes from 2x LSM audits in the release. Lets go!
Nice! Does v0.50.11 also fix the tx decoding overflow issue?
Kudos to the teams for working diligently on upgrading the stack. We look forward to gaia’s update to v0.50 as a legitimate path the most awaited v0.52 later on this year, which will feature the Long Term Support (LTS) for the SDK.

Once again thank you all for this amazing work.
Govmos.
FYI, the Gaia v22.0.0 release is cut but we’re posting the proposal on-chain tomorrow, a day later than scheduled, just to make sure everything is perfectly in order now that Interchain Labs will be handling it.
The prop is up, happy voting!

I don’t know. Can you send me to some documentation on that?
