You should add a ":list" suffix to the form control name
"membership". This will ensure that you will get a list,
when the user checked at least one checkbox.

You still need to handle the case that the user did not
check any box. You could use:

      <dtml-unless membership><dtml-call "REQUEST.set('membership',_.None)"></dtml-unless>

If you keep your code, your membership entries will have the form:

   ['D', 'A', ... ]

Not sure, whether you want that in the database?
I would not expect this.
