Great! Look forward to hearing more about it as it progresses. I don't think I have many French readers of my social media feeds, so I won't send out the petition, but perhaps that is something other list members could contribute to.

Hi Luis,

Myriam and Samuel should be on the list, but they might be quite busy these days to follow up. Plus there is a WMFR lobbying list, too.

At this point the work is quite professional. WMFR is talking to Senators (including on an ED level) while the external campaign is supposed to attract enough attention to this particular issue. The primary pitch is that ""à des fins non lucratives" is bad legislation (unclear and not solving the problem at hand). The culture/emotional/economic debates are left to the National Assembly and the media.

Most helpful right now is telling all French people we know to sign the petition. We already passed the 10.000 mark, which is a good first milestone. If we double this at least we should be able to get some traction in mainstream media as well.

We're meeting in WMBE this Saturday to see if we can use the wind shadow of the French campaign or we should continue working rather silently directly lobbying parliamentarians.

Thanks for the update, Dimi! Great to see the FOP work proceeding on multiple fronts.

Anyone here from the French team? Any particular help that would be welcome on the petition?

Luis
