Hi Chug,
I was not offering an opinion, just a fact. The ToRs for the SI are available online and are considerably more wide-ranging than pre-MAA precisely to address the concerns you and others have raised.
They do give the panel the ability to question the actions of the MAA and report directly to SofS. They also give the panel (deliberately mixed service with independent oversight) the ability to question the actions of VSOs and hold them to account. You may be in a better to position to judge if this final part is being exercised with the release of another unrelated SI in the coming months.
I know your view on the independence of the MilAAIB but I would genuinely appreciate your view on the scope of the SI ToRs and offer up any potential improvements as they may help to drive a change.
Regards.
