At my unit there are no specific local instructions covering this but generally perceived as:

Go-around = aircraft has commenced descent from normal platform on the GDP

Reposition = any point previous to above (e.g. aircraft on ILS LOC but has not yet intercepted the GDP)

(Practically speaking - from ATC perspective at my unit - a go-around requires paperwork, a "reposition" does not necessarily require paperwork!)

Hope that helps
