proof-reading of an extract
Can you please proof read this extract:
In the very beginning of the meeting it is necessary to do everything to lessen possible tensions as well as to express the intention and wish for successful outcome of negotiation for all parties involved. Negotiating session actually includes the following elements: harmonization(setting) and confirmation of the existing agenda or bringing up clauses for discussion, if it has not been done earlier. After that, negotiating parties give their own view on the basis of which their needs and initial positions should be discerned(evident?).
Thank you

I don't know what proofread really means, Antonia; I tend to change anything that I think needs changing: At the beginning of the meeting, it is necessary to do everything possible to lessen any tensions as well as to express hope for a successful outcome for all parties. A negotiating session includes harmonization of the setting, confirmation of the agenda, and tabling of clauses for discussion, if this has not been done earlier. After that, the negotiating parties state their initial positions and requirements.

and I meant to ask you which of the two I should choose (harmonization or setting) becau

I cannot choose, Antonia-- I see no similarity between harmonization (making the enrironment copacetic) and setting (the environment for the negotiation).

I think I made a mistake. The meaning is that agendas have to be harmonized as well as confirmed. I don't know why I suggested setting of agenda. I guess I thought it can work that way. Sorry for bothering you. Can I just leave harmonization as well as confirmation of agenda?
