I read that as the first round of testing is on an experienced userbase,
before it gets widened to a larger test audience.

I think you're taking your own preconceived ideas and applying them to a
statement which didn't contain them.

The statement was "at the current time we are just seeking a range of
people with some form of network administration experience."

There is no mention of race, religion, gender or age in that statement.

experience" exclude any of the above?
