The primary objective of these reviews select the best science and not the best science teams. The TAC panels and chairs rank proposals in order of scientific merit, and recommend the resources that should be allocated to each. The experience of the team with HST or otherwise is not a consideration. Do not spend time attempting to identify the team or the principle investigator.
