Sending people to Brussels and Strasbourg for reasons other than to lobby
on IP issues is not a good use of WMF donors money. You want 766 photos
total. Find one person in Brussels (not Strasbourg even the majority of
MEPs accept that Strasbourg is a bad idea at this point) and give them
whatever support they need to get the photos.

Of course not. Strasbourg is several hundred miles away across the English
channel.
