Has this gone any further? I copied below from the link.
What about what Paul suggested we focus on? Of the below, I like the AGP/RGP ideas but rather made into a more neutral environment. Artificial scarcity would be interesting. I think net neutrality has been overdone already. Since they are law students, something trademark related would be appropriate. I'd be interested to see something come out of meshing the artificial scarcity/additional TLDs with the trademark stuff.
I move that if we have them do something, it be a positive and productive experience.
So, I've only got 'till tomorrow and I'll be offline 'till Monday for the most part. Feel free to let me know if we are progressing on this issue...
Brainstorming: keep the core neutral (network neutrality) reviews - nomcom, at-large briefing on ipv4/v6 artificial scarcity and TLD namespace need for the AGP conflicts of interest in the RGP How many students would you like assigned to this project? 1-2 students
How many hours per week would you like the student(s) to commit? 3 hours Please describe the project in as much detail as possible, including timelines and expectations. List the tasks that the students must complete in order to finish the project.
What is the end goal of the project? What type of training will be offered to the students?
How often will you be available to meet with the students?

1. First, we need to develop the project description. We should, if possible - try to come up with a list of high level activities that the student(s) might be able to do as well as the issue areas involved (internet policy, governance, etc..)
[DEADLINE] This is needs to be done on or by the end of this month. Please review and/or edit the document at the URL below. It is - urgent - we get even point form ideas added there. I'll review the document before the deadline and incorporate any comments. The project proposal can be modified after we submit it as we and the students have a better idea of what they best can help us with.

The maximum time we can get from a student is 3 hours a week, subtracting of course time around exams. So we should try to figure out if one student is enough, or if we'd like perhaps one more.
2. The project description will be circulated during the first week of the term (end aug/sept) to new and returning law students.
We'll be notified likely in early sept (1/ half of the month) of the # of students who have expressed an interest
3. should there be a match, and i'm assuming their will be - then a faculty member will be assigned to supervise the team. Supervision is minimal at best, being likely 1-2 in person meetings here in Toronto. Since Evan and I are local, well - its simple.
4. If all goes well, then we'll have students assigned.
Personally, i would hope that one or more of the lawyers among the group could be recruited together with the NA RALO secretariat, and the Toronto locals (evan and I) to form a student advisory group. The purpose of the group would be to help direct and advise the students.

Although I have no time to speak of, I think we need to just *make* the time for this.

Dear NA RALO colleagues:
As you can see from the email below, Privaterra has been offered the help of some pro-bono law students over the fall/winter. I'd like to - share - this opportunity with NA RALO, as I think one or more law students could prove quite helpful for us to help develop white papers, reports and contributions to ongoing ICANN processes.
Should it be of interest, then i'd have to work with some of you to help complete the project description and other related documents.
comments?
regards,

Dear Robert,
Hi, I'm Kenneth, the new U of T PBSC Program Coordinator this year, and it was really nice talking to you over the phone just now. Attached please find five documents, and I will need you to fill in three and submit them back to me before the end of July, in order for me to match Privaterra with law student volunteers this fall -- please complete for us the project description form, the organization profile form, and the disclaimer/release of liability form. It would be best if you could e-mail me the project description and the contact form so that I have an electronic copy, but for the release I will need you to fax or mail it since it requires a signature. Our fax number is 416-934-4536.
As soon as I receive all of this documentation from you, I will be able to include Privaterra in our database, from which our students can select the types of projects that they are interested in working on. If you have any questions in the interim please feel free to contact me via e-mail or phone. I hope to hear from you soon!
Cheers, Kenneth Kenneth Li U of T Student Program Coordinator Pro Bono Students Canada
