English translation:steward
Explanation:
This is context-dependent. Is a proper "Kuratorium" being established? Then I see no problem with Christine's suggestion. If not, i.e. if the "title" of Kurator is not being used here as the term of art, then I might use an equally non-specific term such as "steward", which implies a sense that the party is taking on some kind of responsibility, but does not necessarily define the parameters of that responsibility.
