Are we sure that that the Consortium Plan, as an update version of the Description of Work (Annex I) established by the Consortium, will be accepted by the E..C. for the project reviews, instead of the last version of the Annex I itself ?
If so, is there a process for the validation of any Consortium Plan amendment?

 A Coordinator is worried to find himself in meetings of the General Assembly not reaching the 2/3 quorum of members (DESCA 6.2.3) and thus unable to deliberate validly, with all present parties incurring travel costs for nothing.
What about a member that is neither present nor represented at the meeting becomes irrelevant for the quorum?

The generally agreed standards for project management (and certfication of project leaders) - PMP in the US and IPMA internationally - use the well-known Project Management Body-of-Knowledge (PMbok). Please refer to PMbok for more information. A Google search will also quickly show you the relative popularity of the terminologies, with Project Management Team an overwhelming winner.
Suggestion: change - quickly - the DESCA template to use Project Management Team instead of the confusing Management Support Team terminology.
P.S.
This feedback system is rather difficult to use. A simple form that emails the feedback to an email address would be better.
