Thanks, Carlton, good memory about GIGA.

I've no idea how NMI was translated into GIGA, but it is very clear that no
one ever in China uses "multilateral" to replace "multi-stakeholder" (so I
definitely disagree with that Chinese presenter's observation at AP
regional IGF). As Vanda said, multilateral is only used to refer to
international relation or international law. I created a Chinese word for
"pluri-lateral" though.

Cheers

Hong
