Thanks for this point. The title was more of a working title for our use,
not specifically to be used when the document is submitted. Thus, the word
"reform" is not used in the body text. Thus we can, I agree, submit it
under a more neutral title such as "Submission of the IGC in taking stock
of the Sharm el Sheikh meeting of the IGF".

Thanks, and thanks also to those who have commented on the preamble and
paragraph 1 so far. Please, anyone, feel free to move on to paragraphs 2, 3
and following. I will compile all the suggested changes (where compatible)
in a day or two and re-circulate.
