    a Team Selection Committee is chosen.
  - The Team Selection Committee reviews the database of those who have submitted applications
    to serve, meet the prerequisites, and the "progressive servanthood" model (mixing years of
    experience and geographic location following the Upper Room "1/3rd" model).
  - Once a possible roster of Team members and alternates is chosen, the Walk LD contacts each
    individual on the roster.  If the individual accepts the nomination, they become part of the Team.
  - Outside Team members, other than the OT Leader, is often chosen informally by the OT Leader
    and Walk LD, but must also follow the "progressive servanthood" model, have attended a Walk
    or Flight, and be at least 18 years of age.  The Team Selection Committee may recommend
    names for OT members to follow the progressive servanthood model.
