UN has several languages other than French so I suggest lets not get poor UN in between :)
We all understand we need support for multiple languages and English is just a medium to interact among people with different languages. It is by no means a precondition for anyone to contribute. Hope we don't fight any more on what language as long as there is someone in the team down there to share with rest of the global teams regarding their activities.
