Members of ATI's unpaid board of advisors would lend their names, titles and prestige to the organization to illustrate its policy inflection and provide guidance. Advisors would each have policy or legal expertise, and/or think tank experience, which could be tapped by ATI's leaders as they grow the organization and develop programs to achieve its mission.

Advisors would be called upon for consultation on internal matters, research topics, response to breaking news, criticisms from outside individuals, organizations or media, or any other matters for which they'd be trusted to provide valuable input.

ATI's senior fellows program will represent a selection of the nation's most respected policy experts. Drawn from the ranks of academia, economics, mining, energy, environmental sciences, forestry, and other appropriate professional fields, senior fellows will also advise ATI staff and leaders on free-market, individual liberty positions on energy, environment, natural resource use, and property rights issues. As needed they will produce and publish studies, articles, commentaries, policy papers, and letters to the editor on behalf of ATI. They will also conduct media interviews, testify at legislative hearings, and speak publicly for ATI as needed and as their schedules allow.

Senior fellows may also conduct peer review of ATI research reports before they are released to the public. They will be compensated for their work either on a case-by-case basis (dependent upon the amount of time and resources required for their projects) or on a monthly stipend with a more fixed agreement regarding involvement.

Research fellows will provide expertise and exposure for ATI's positions on various issues on a contract or monthly basis. As ATI's policy areas are expanded and funding is raised for them, qualified researchers will be commissioned for studies. Broad issue areas will be energy, environment and property rights, with possible subtopics to include Endangered Species Act abuse and reform; overreach and misbehavior by state and federal agencies (including EPA); the economic impact of various interests' anti-development efforts; unintended consequences of environmental regulations and market-distorting legislation; transparency; and others.

Generally, research fellows will have strong writing and analytical skills, but may not have a specialty expertise in one particular area like senior fellows might. They will produce reports, op-eds, letters to the editor, and perhaps speak or testify in hearings. Their work will be reviewed by ATI executive leadership, an appropriate senior fellow, or both.

ATI investigative fellows will come from a journalistic or blogging background in which they have demonstrated a strong aptitude for producing enterprising stories that reveal corruption, waste or fraud. ATI's executive director will work with investigators on projects that uncover conflicts of interest, hypocrisy, misuse of resources, and gaming of government programs to favor special interests. Other projects could include exposés of: corporations who kowtow to the Green movement; environmental extremist groups and their leaders who abuse the legislative, judicial and regulatory processes; academia; and scientific associations who behave more like activists than objective fact- finders.

Investigative fellows will be compensated for their work on a case-by-case basis, dependent upon the amount of time required for their projects, or on a monthly basis.

The ATI Environmental Law Center fellows will come from a free-market oriented legal background with experience in Endangered Species, water law, property rights, ranching and agriculture, public interest litigation involving FOIA and malfeasance by government and its agents; and other areas.
