Will we also be included in the regular pool of translators and have the ability to take OHT projects outside of the Elite Translators team, or will we only be given additional projects when we ask or when there is not enough other work?

Projects by your regular customers - "My Work" - will get top priotiry and you will need to complete them first. In addition to those, and in your spare time, you will be able to take OHT projects by other customers independently.
