User is member of university A (e.g. has already registered) and decides they want to be a member of University B. CS recognizes the email and let's the user know that University B has been added to their member organizations [MG: System won't let user know but simply does it behind the scenes]. They keep the same screen name and password. If the user attempts to register they will receive back the message [MG: changed message]:"This email is taken or you are already a member of CrowdSmart, if so, please login.". Example: Fred@crowdsmart.net first joins through UCB.CrowdSmartinc.com. Fred goes to Stanford.CrowdSmartinc.com and begins to sign up by submitting his email he is told that Stanford is now added. If he simply logs in at Stanford the system adds Stanford to his list of universities.

[MG: This changed. "Register Startup" button will be disabled unless user signed in. Once signed in, user can enter uCase004]
