Salient observations, but have we not always endured attacks? Was there any period when our claims were not subject to attacks?
And what about correct observations such a poor retention, especially in developing regions such as South America and Africa, even lower than competing organizations?
Is the organization stronger or weaker than say in 1980?
Is the organization perceived as a better organization than it was in 1980?
