I think this is very possible. If you check out ST:Communicator magazine's interveiw with Rick Berman, He says that the current timeline for the Series is targeted for Sep/Oct 2001. He goes on to say that the script for the pilot has been writen and Paramont seems to be behind it. I think there's a good chance the article is correct.

He also said the concept is NOT one that's been discussed on the 'net. . .

Bleh... I don't much care for any of the propsed / discussed ones on the net anyway. Especially the continuity-bender "Birth of the Federation" concept. I personally don't mind if they stay in the TNG era... Personally, I'd like if they'd go to some new part of space (like Voyager) for exploration, and not have coming back be a big part of the plot (like Voyager). A semi-regular base of operations (unlike Voyager) would be nice, as would some interesting characters (unlike Voyager).

I really enjoyed the Covert Ops idea, but with the helmers that Trek has now, and with it's new direction apparently being "younger, hipper and more light-hearted", it would suck if done.

I hated those future uniforms. The pants went all the way to the wearer's armpits! I bet some octogenarian invented them. The only cool thing about the uniform was the communicator pin.
I think the 29th century uniforms are actually the coolest uniforms seen so far.

I love that communicator, too. That's why I love LaForge's uniform from "Timeless" - FC uniform, AGT communicator

Covert Ops? Nah, I dunno about getting stuff that's all cloak & daggerey - and certainly NOTHING near that Section 31 stuff. S31 is nice, and would be an interesting villain agency / story arc for a new series, but I doubt it would carry a series.
I thought one of the front runners was a "special ops" thing rather than a "covert ops" one. You know, like the marshalls of the old west (to carry the old analogy) riding around on horseback looing for trouble.
For that one, I envisioned a relatively small core group of elite specialists who go to troubleshoot stuff within the Federation. There'd be the usual Starfleet compliment, probably a civilian (maybe ex-Starfleet) Ambassador (who'd clash with the brash young guy in the CO chair), and some other non SF crew for flavour and moral conflict. Their ship would be Starfleet, somewhere between Voyager and the E-D, with all the usual bells and whistles. Catch being, they'd operate out of a regular starbase or home port, to add a sense of community in the Alpha Quadrant.

Sounds a little like Star Trek: SCE (Starfleet Corps of Engineers), the new ebook-only Trek series from Pocket Books.
I look at some of the previously rumored ideas this way:
Starfleet Academy = Star Trek:90210 Section 31 = Star Trek:X-Files or Star Trek:The Prisoner Time Jumping = Star Trek:Quantum Leap Universe Jumping = Star Trek:Sliders BotF = Star Trek:Continuity Nightmare/Historical Documentary Anthology = Star Trek:Blink and you've missed it.

Another Berman quote mentioned that "Star Trek" might not even feature in the name. . .

I think it would be safer to trust Berman's comments about Series V for now. I really hope the new series is Post-TNG and not Pre-TOS. Pre-TOS would be a bit boring for me.
