How do I say this?
I have a question. What word should I use if I want to say that I am waiting for an answer from an entity. Let's say there is an organization which submitted a proposal to execute a project.
This information goes in a formal format, like so:

Project name:
Submitted to:
Status:

In the status box, could I use 'on hold'? what's the proper word?
Thanks in advance.

Answer

Something like "Awaiting confirmation" might work.

Answer

Thank you very much Matthew!

Answer

That's a great question and I agree with Suki. so "awaiting confirmation" or "pending for confirmation" would be great.
