For instance, we have some agendas on desk to be negotiated on and the majority of them are insisting on a particular agenda to start with. So is it correct if I ask them the below question:

Is it incumbent for us to begin with this agenda as an initiative?

Please check the grammar.

The majority of what are insisting?
 
An agenda is a list of topics to be discussed.

Do you have multiple topics or multiple agendas?
 
I think 'incumbent ON us' is correct...
 
I appreciate the responses. In either ways, I actually wanted to know whether the word "Incumbent" goes with the sentence.
 
Stick with panglossa's 'incumbent on'.
