 Replying to [comment:6 lunar]:
 > I don't understand. When applying for visa for business or academic
 meetings, the requester has to  present an invitation letter as part of
 their application. Invitation letters should be provided to the people
 invited for the meeting.

 We're not a French organization. We can't officially invite someone to
 France. Therefore, the actual French organization doing the hosting has to
 provide the letter. I can work with them, but ultimately, the letter has
 to be on their letterhead and signed by an officer of their corporation.

 > I don't understand. Are you saying that we should not track that we have
 given invitation letters to the people who needed them? That does not
 imply listing names, just making sure that we do our part for the people
 we invite who need to get visas.

 We track it internally in the employee or contractor files.
