Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
neutral  writeaway: your ref only proves the existence of the word 'consortium' (Fr word is also 'consortium) but doesn't back the translation. Fortunately sufficient translation info was provided earlier in the discussion box.

  -> Thank you as always for your invaluable input. It is probably best if I don't say anything else.
neutral  juliebarba: Hi Chris. I would leave out the conjoint/joint here and just use temporary consortium, as it's doubling up - a consortium is always a joint business project.

  -> Thank you Julie. I agree with "temporary consortium".
agree  Verginia Ophof

  -> Many thanks Verginia - much appreciated. Kind regards, Chris.
agree  joehlindsay: I think Julie Barba is correct, leave out joint. Also, for whatever reason, although the word consortium exists in French, people seem to avoid it (?)
