"for the process of formalizing everything before the Collaborative reveals itself"

The Waptoria, who are among those who understand France the best, will probably be able to tell the Persan that the French wouldn't mind the surprise, or the fact that Mirusians are taking the lead on this. The only problem is if they're asked to take part in an institution/treaty structure which contains provisions which it cannot agree to, and which it cannot petition to change as an equal participant and founder of the Collaborative. In that case, France will abstain from participation, and with it all of the other Xonexian states.

The best way to avoid that kind of situation is to involve France from the get-go, or failing that, to listen very carefully to the counsel of Raptoreana.
