peer agreement (net): -1all those who had something to say, have done so Explanation: More context would of course be useful. Never the less, I reckon that you can retain the literal/figurative problem in an English rendering along the lines of : - everyone has chipped in - all parties concerned have made their contribution An appropriate answer in your context no doubt lies somewhere between the two ! -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 18 hrs (2006-11-24 14:34:53 GMT) Post-grading -------------------------------------------------- Furtehr to Marc's note, obivously, more context would have been helpful. That was made clear. "investment round", an interesting idea.... but of course so much more context woudl indeed have been required !

Indeed a quick search ["tour de table" glossaire] indicates the more specific meaning in this context : "Tour de table (round) Ensemble des actionnaires qui participent à l’augmentation de capital d’une société." http://www.cdcentreprises.fr/glossaire.php?from_alpha=AZ&g_i... |
