The insiders are those with the skills and ability to program FAI and
who are directly involved in its creation.
There are no secret handshakes. It is open to anybody, although very
few are qualified. To stay with your biblical language, many are
called, but few are chosen. They are not chosen by some secret elite
committee -- they are "chosen" by their actual ability to deliver; the
proof is in the pudding.
In other words, the "insiders" are ultimately self-selected. So are
the "outsiders", if we define that group as those people who want to
impose their will -- through regulations, oversight, etc. -- on the
creation of FAI from the outside.
