Do you mean as a replacement for the bullet point:

interoperability testing across implementations for ideas at different levels of maturity
In which case how about?
exploring interoperability across implementations based on the IG's draft proposals
“Seeing the feasibility” isn’t quite right, e.g. you can check, test, experiment with and explore, but “to see” is the wrong verb. My guess is that we will want to do such experiments across platforms defined by external organisations, e.g. OCF.  Likewise, we may want to support experiments with ideas that are not yet adopted as formal work items by the Interest Group.  I therefore prefer the following wording:
interoperability experiments across implementations for ideas at different levels of maturity
Does that capture what we intend?
