       | Interesting billing model, although I can imagine many orgs would
       | rather have a simpler billing scenario even if it were more
       | expensive.

         | company or organization) to have access to centralized billing.
         | Through this they can meet the 50% requirement without having
         | individual members pay up.
         | 
         | Organizations can have centralized/simpler billing with this
         | proposal

         | Yeah, paying for accounts for half of your employees seems

         | create orgs but it creates weird politics like stated.
         | 
         | What about just allowing paying users to create many (some high
         | number) orgs for up to 5 people? Maybe scaling a bit if
         | multiple paying users are inside. Then bigger orgs need to be
         | paid.
