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.

The GIGA trademark is indeed owned by an Institute concerned with Global Internet Governance & Advocacy under the direction of our friend Dr. V.C. Vivekanandan at NALSAR, the University of Law in Hyderabad.
Vivek served a term on the ALAC in about 2010.
JJS, Hong Xue and I were honoured by GIGA's invitation to participate in their annual conference in 2012.....I think.

the term GIGA is already in use in a different Internet context: the Institute of Global Internet Governance and Advocacy (GIGA)
I suspect a sub-editor googled (or whatever they do in China) and this was the closest thing they found to what was reported so they went with it.
Done similar myself before now!
