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.

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.

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 (?)
