If not the Captain then at least the First Officer. Or better yet, why not both?
If there's a new show

I imagine that any sort of agreement to make a new tv show would include obtaining the props and sets and such. The rights are fairly convoluted as far as i know.
Perhaps instead of a JJ-TNG the new show would more likely be a post-movies show - set maybe 10 or so years after the latest movie.
And the fourth live-action Spidey, counting Nicholas Hammond.
Hollywood doesn't make miniseries anymore. They are cost-prohibitive. Nobody's going to spend tons of money on sets, props, costumes, etc. just to make three episodes. The only reason why a miniseries would exist is for it to be a pilot for a new full-length series (a la nuBattlestar.)
The rights issue can really just be boiled down to CBS owns the Star Trek IP and gave Paramount a license to make and sell Trek movies (with CBS getting a cut of the profits and retaining the licensing/merchandising rights of everything from TOS to the current Abrams movies). It works fine as long as neither side messes with the other.
In regards to a new TV series set in the Abramsverse, The only real issue there is getting CBS and Viacom (the owner of Paramount) to work together. Once one big dysfunctional family, they were split up a decade ago because they couldn't work together, with each side telling the other to f-off (the latest salvo was a few years ago when Paramount took away their entire film library from the CBS-owned Showtime and went to co-form the rival EPIX network--Showtime can only get Paramount movies (like the often-repeated Star Trek: Nemesis) through a third-party distributor, IIRC).
To me, it seems the best way to describe the current CBS and Viacom/Paramount relationship is "you stay on your side, we'll stay on our side."

I think I could work something out:
Captain Tyler Dane is happily married to Tahro Enek, a Bajoran teacher who works in the ship's school, and together they raise their adopted Andorian daughter. Commander Azani Kellen, the Trill XO, faces problems with long-term commitment, after her girlfriend was murdered just an hour before Kellen was going to propose to her.

Re: how about THIS for a new show
Or... a remake of Voyager (NuVoyager) set in the new timeline (a reboot with the same characters played by different actors). They get pulled into the Delta Quadrant and have a much more interesting journey (with nods to the original timeline).

Re: how about THIS for a new show
I don't see how it would work. It would be too divided between the two universes to have any cohesive continuity. DS9 did something similar with their Mirror Universe arc, but I can't see it working throughout an entire series. There just isn't anything that would anchor the two together for more than one season.

Re: how about THIS for a new show
I don't follow. You want this series to exist so that it can be added to someone's blog?

I would strongly prefer the original timeline.
But it would probably be the new one. Though I guess getting writers like they had in the TNG/DS9 era is more important than which timeline it's in.

I think it would be interesting to explore either:
...the time right after TNG with a mostly new cast, but perhaps a "Data" (Rob Morrow too old?), or a "Lol" that has been backstoried, and a "Q" (why not female?) to refer to from time to time.
...or
..."Now-ish" (late 21st Century) forward, to tell the story of how NASA, ESA, CNSA, RUSCOSMOS, et. al; became the Federation, and our initial struggles and success with technology and flight.
...just some thoughts

no for the sake of being added to chronology, that way the new movies and this hypothetical show wont have to share separate lists
