I think that it's too early for diplomacy yet.
Whoever gets the oracle first is going to get metal casting first. That means triremes early and probably The Colossus. Normally, I don't worry about the Colossus because I don't like water maps. But I'm guessing we have a lot of coastal tiles and there are a lot of financial civs, so there will be a lotta people gunning for the Oracle, not just us.
Whoever gets the Oracle will have a very large upper hand shortly after. We should make no strong commitments until we are positive who has it and hopefully where they are.
As for the circumnavigation bonus, I heavily doubt that anyone will get it pre-optics unless they get open borders with most of the other civs.
