There is an additional argument for the use of English in OpenNIC -- 
OpenNIC is a DNS service, and the DNS is *defined* in RFCs that are 
written in English.  Since the DNS is defined in documents written in 
English, it is reasonable for OpenNIC to insist that proposals be in 
English, as anyone making a proposal should understand the technical 
rules under which OpenNIC operates, and those rules (the RFCs) are 
written in English, therefore anyone making a proposal should have a 
working knowledge of the English language.
