Membership Tool design meeting

[Marc Brierley]

OK, folks. I've updated the mockups as best I could from our review  
meeting this morning. I'll obviously be making changes based on the  
user testing Julie is going to be doing tomorrow, but other input is  
welcome as well. BTW, I'm thinking this updated Membership tool should  
just be called "Sites."
