1) règles de base 2) stratégies de fonctionnement doux

Explanation:
ground rules en anglais c'est tout simplement "règles de base" dans n'importe quel contexte non?
la deuxième expression on peut traduire l'expression qui semble traiter les "stratégies de fonctionnement doux".
En anglais les mots "housekeeping items" parle des outils qu'on utilise pour nettoyer et assurer le fonctionnement doux (d'une maison)
