Am curious to know how this is all done.

What company constraints, policies, paradigms, etc ..., are involved.

Is there a team lead, who it will be, and how the effort is managed and directed in terms of goals and efforts.

Go Code Force, Matrix, Slitherine!

Well, if you apply and get into the beta, this will all be clear. In general terms, the process varies a bit based on the game and the size of the overall beta team. A NDA is required for all testers to ensure confidentiality until release. There are times when additional test coordinators are needed if the team is large enough that the volume of feedback to sift through becomes otherwise overwhelming. We use issue reporting and tracking systems as well as some automated logging to help us keep track of what's reported.

In hindsight I suppose I could not have expected a better answer :).

Yes I have applied and am on on board with NDA and protecting your treasure :).

Thanks for the response!
