One issue I'd like raised is the formal process for selection, as there appears to be two processes -- one prior to the selection of the ATRT volunteers as a whole, involving a disclosed process, and another subsequent to the selection of the ATRT volunteers as a whole, which does not relate to or depend upon the prior process.
You're welcome to raise the issue and I look forward to ensuing discussion.
