You can certainly put something like this in the deliverables
section: "The TC will review current practices pertaining to the development
of profiles for interoperability and produce a report that includes a recommendation
of best practices for the OIIC TC, as well as a prioritized list of profiles
to create."

What I don't want is for our hasty research, and Marbux's
idiosyncratic views, to substitute for a proper review of the state of
the art in profile development.  To do so is rather presumptuous and
could significantly reduce the proposed TC's chances of success.
