I'd rather avoid the term "advisors", because we're no lawyers and
therefore cannot give any legal advice.

It it clear that in some cases the licenses team will escalate issues
to the trustees and not to the council. Nevertheless, I see a project
(TLP or sub-project) as a good enough fit. So no need to invent new
structures for us. The main goal of having a project page is to
increase our visibility and to have a convenient starting point for
organising our information in the wiki.
