Your comment on G86: Providing a text summary that requires reading ability

Working Group Resolution (LC-2850):
Thanks for your comment and suggested text. This technique title does need
upgrading. 

We will update the title to be more clear:

G86: Providing a text summary that can be understood by people with lower
secondary education level reading ability
