If not, i suggest that someone puts themselves forward for the group as the DWG clearly needs better communications with the french speaking OSM community.  I'm sure there are many french speaking contributors around the world that would like to see more communication in french with the working groups.

> My experience of working groups is that if you want to get involved you can.  The current situation of no french-speaking members of the DWG is clearly not working for your community.  You need someone who speaks good French and English and can dedicate time every week to this WG.  They can then act as the french speaking representative who communicates with your communities.  Try to be constructive, and remember the DWG are all volunteers and probably dedicate much more of their personal time to this project than most others.
