process/procedure

Hi!

Can you please tell me if I should replace the process with the procedure here:

These kind of preparations can include previous meetings and joint stays or absences of the team members and other influential persons for the purposes of determining basic rules of the process and defining decisions on managing predictable elements of negotiation process.

One more question please, is it ok to say joint stay (mutual??)? If you see something that sounds unnatural, please let me know.

I appreciate your help.

It's difficult to judge absolutely without reading the wider context, Antonia-- texts take on their own preferred vocabulary as well as make use of the industry/field vocabulary-- but I would suggest procedure ( without the ). And I think not mutual , which means to/for each other , where joint means together . Also, not these kind -- either this kind or these kinds .

Thank you MrM.

The process in this context is negotiation, but doesn't it seem awkward to say rules of the process?

Basic procedural rules/guidelines are both common phrases.
