The problem with AIDA, is that by one way or another they always come across as somehow bigger than the athlete or comp they're ratifying, when in fact they should be like a fly on the wall, i.e., you should see and hear from them (only just), but certainly they should not steal the show or even become topic of conversation in any way. Unfortunately, the picture I keep getting is one prestige associated with being an arbitrator and going here an dthere on 'working holidays'. Consequently, if you run an organization base on personalities rather than pure function, your bound to set yourself up for coming across as political, polemical, and unprofessional (even if its only run by volunteers). This is unfortunate.
