As for him being a consultant...he didn't say that....he said he was asked to come onboard to EP Enterprise. He declined.
He may have been given the title EP but he was not the show runner. The current holders would have still been around to veto his suggestions. Enterprise is still on route to the chop.
Yet, he still created a new treatment for a new Trek series and a plan to save it. This is why I'm not so sure (instinct here) that JMS and Trek are quite done with each other.
Since the new series has not been rejected out of hand that is still possible.
