There have been a few more pre-registrations. In order to allow these pre-registrants to actually register a new merkle root must be accepted by the dao contract and this is done by winning a 2/3 majority vote of dao members with votes weighted by karma (not REC). Proposals and voting occur on the dao dapp. Proposals currently only last 24 hours (6000 blocks) as it's expected to pass things straightforwardly during the testnet deployment phase. For verification purposes updated user registration data including new user merkle proofs can be found at this git branch.

Ok, so if the above doesn't make much sense, the real point is essentially to have a process that is two-fold:

1. Verify-ably compile user registration data (karma, first content timestamp) as well as trustlessly allow user self-registration
2. Submit approval of new user registration batches to existing dao member vote (existing dao can set terms on these new reg batches)
