Careful. My ISP currently has a payroll of 5 people. Thats a "small" 
organisation - but I'm very much an ISP... (I think so - anyway :)

If there is an individual that wants PI space - I think the vibe is the 
individual must become an organisation. I also think it would be 
exceedingly simple to have more than 5 members in that organisation if 
it were known that the criteria for getting PI space was set at "An 
Organisation with 5 or more members" - so setting definitions could be 
dangerous.

As you say - lets keep it simple....

I suspect that "Must be an organization" (without defining what an 
organisation is) along with the other criteria will present an 
appropriate prerequisite to applicants.
