I would strongly advise looking at the provincial models. The U.K. model I'm very familiar with because I've had dealings with the U.K. ombudsman and her office. I'm aware of their constitution, and it's an excellent office. I would encourage you to look at that model. There are other international organizations, such as IOI and the USOA, that provide extremely good resources on where to go with the Veterans Affairs ombudsman. I would strongly recommend all those resources.
