1950 US Federal Census

I know human recognition technology will do the indexing of the 1950 US federal census and humans will be "reviewing." Do humans need to be true reviewers (1,000 records or more) to work on the census records or can anyone (less than 1,000 records) participate?

We have not been told but from what I can see personally I doubt it. It might be useful to have some experience indexing and also doing some Review Name in the get Involved area. It won’t be the same but would be helpful. There is RootsTech video that explains it in some detail. Unfortunately I cannnot get to the link at the moment but perhaps someone else here can add that? John Empoliti perhaps?
