I've never heard of this word. What can this be? I think this phrase is referring to a negotiation regarding a contract.

Typo for giron
I reckon you're right about the giron typo. The matter hasn't been discussed yet, so they want to postpone discussion to a later date. Works for me.

Comment: "Thank you, Matthew-san. Translators are also detectives! I once saw a saying that went, "Translators are liers." Ugh!! If the original text were clear and without any typos, then translators wouldn't have to "lie" or "reinvent". Anyway, my thanks also go to Oda-san and Kamada-san."

"Giron" is not likely to be duplicated twice within the context of this expression. If one heard the expression orally, "gitei議定", might sound like "giton" to the listener. Thus, I conclude that the original word must have been "gitei議定", and not "giton". Please consider the entire context of your material to see if the meaning of "gitei" is appropriate or not.

typo of "T" and "R" can be a strong guess, but using same word twice in same sentence would be awkward.
I was also guessing a couple of possible words.

: bit too wild guess, but the only thing we could do is nothing other than that. i agree it's a typo.
