At this time I would like to know if we have any players that would be interested in volunteering for these positions.

This counselor program could serve as a way to ensure player issues (pages) are tended to during the transition and might even become a stepping stone to some exceptional counselors becoming GMs.

Selling isn't exactly the picture you want to put into your mind. Think about going to a Sunday garage sale, and when you are looking over a bunch of things laying out on a tattered astroturf carpet, you see what looks to be UO.com sitting next to a dusty DAoC.com. They are labeled "FREE!". lol, I crack myself up sometimes...
