French term

Adhérent Tardif

French to English Other Environment & Ecology Producer responsibility organisations
This term refers to a member that joins a producer responsibility organisation at a later stage rather than at the start of the scheme.
I obviously can't put "late member"!
Any suggestions gratefully received
Proposed translations (English)
3 +4 late registrant/entrant
3 +3 A latecomer to the organisation
4 +2 non-founding member
4 use delayed membership or late registered member
4 late subscriber
3 subsequent joiners
2 +1 late adopter (of the scheme)

Discussion

Anne Micallef (asker) Jan 14, 2023:
To answer these questions: I needed a term rather than a phrase
Late joiners/entrants pay the same membership fee but have to pay a late fee which varies depending on why they were late in joining the scheme
Thanks to all contributions, they were very helpul
Conor McAuley Jan 14, 2023:
Does the late joiner pay a higher membership fee or is the term "loaded" in any other way?
Gabrielle Leyden Jan 12, 2023:
late joiner Late joiner? Can you use a phrase: Entities that join the organisation later?

agree Conor McAuley : On reflection, "enter a scheme" can be said and written, and thus "late entrant" works well too.

A latecomer to the organisation

E.g.— a latecomer to the race — will be the new District 2 board member, representing the Greenbelt

subsequent joiners

Used in example for non-original EU members. In workplace you would have "new joiner" so the only reservation I have about this term is that I would wonder "subsequent to what?"

late adopter (of the scheme)

If indeed a scheme, and not a club, for instance.

late subscriber

I think this fits, late adopter sounds right for a behaviour but subscriber for membership.
Example sentence:

BeanCorp was a late subscriber to the World Bean Producer Group.

non-founding member

This may not work because you haven't given the French context, but a founding member is one that's there at the beginning. I agree that you can't use "late".

A producer responsibility organisation is one that recycles products on behalf of the manufacturers.
Note from asker:
An interesting suggestion, especially I was hoping to be able to keep the term "member", but not sure if an "adhérent" (as opposed to an "adhérent tardif") would actually be a founding member, or simply a member that joined at the start of the scheme. As for giving more context, apologies - I thought I had given enough with the info that it referred to the members of a producer responsibility organisation. Duly noted for future questions!

agree Conor McAuley : I'm afraid "haven't given the French context" is a very valid point. This answer may be a good fit. Remember, better-asked questions = better answers!
