Originally, I'll bet that's what T'Pol was put there for!
Boy, what would this show have been like if they did like TOS did back then and had some "top-drawer" sci-fi writers pen the base stories for some eps!
I am hoping hard for some eps dealing with actual steps toward the formal founding of the UFP... with Orion skullduggery, Klingon interference, Xindi abstinence, Romulan spying, and Moe-Larry-Curly eye poking, head banging, and face slapping on the part of Earth, Vulcan, Andor, and Tellar (is that the name??), with skittish periperhal potential members looking on with trepidation!
Anyone remember the secret renegade Vulcan sect from TNG (you know, Picard disguised as a pirate)? It'd also be cool to have some eps deal with them and the hoity-toity but not so under control majority of Vulcans.
More ray guns and spaceship battle scenes, please!
