Portuguese term or phrase: Pronunciar em decisao conjunta
Here goes part of the text (under Arbitration Clause of an insurance policy):

".... os seus Árbitros Representantes, os quais deverão) pronunciar-se, em decisão conjunta, 15 (quinze) dias após suas convocações."

In context of selecting Arbitration Representatives to appoint an arbitrator for an arbitration suit, I'm not sure if the above phrase refers to "making a joint decision". Que opinam?

issue a joint decision
Explanation:
os seus Árbitros Representantes, os quais deverão) pronunciar-se, em decisão conjunta, 15 (quinze) dias após suas convocações
their Representative Arbitrators, who are required to issue a joint decision fifteen (15) days following their being summoned.
(I don't think "suas convocações" necessarily means "after their meetings", but it might, considering that it is plural.) (I think "are required to" is better than "should". "Should" does not sound idiomatic in this context.)

I take back the statement about "convocações". After review, I think it does mean "meetings", and "após suas convocações" means "following their meetings".

Explanation:
The ST/source text reads differently to the question asked.

Also, an arbitral decision is usually labelled an arbitration award.
