French term

appui

French to English Law/Patents International Org/Dev/Coop
This is in relation to international bodies and the submission of proposals to amend their rules. A certain number of member countries must "support" a proposal in order to be able to submit it:

"Nombre d’appuis nécessaires pour présenter une proposition:"

is there a specific term for this?

thanks

Ok, acceptance, approval
