+1 to this new name as it seems we want to focus on WCAG
WCAG-CT-CG
WCAG Conformance Testing Community Group
I also like the broader term,
ACT CG or (HACT)
(Harmonized) Accessibility Conformance Testing CG

My preference would actually be towards calling this community group
something with both “WCAG†and “Accessibility Conformance Testingâ€, to
both refer to the format (ACT) within which we are working, and the
guidelines (WCAG) that we are writing rules for.
I think it makes sense to narrow it down to be WCAG specific, since this
is the one thing that everyone in this community group has in common,
whether they have a background in automated or manual testing.
Narrowing this community group down to WCAG would also make room for other
ACT community groups that focus on other sets of accessibility guidelines,
e.g. for digital publishing, without the ACT CG name already being taken.

I agree. I think Accessibility Conformance Testing lends itself to a
bigger scope.

I like the ideas put forth here. From what I have observed, there are
essentially 2 schools of thought:
Narrow / explicit – WCAG Testing Community Group
Broad / implicit – Accessibility Conformance Testing (ACT) Community Group
I prefer the later, as it more closely aligns to the goal and scope of
Silver to include more than explicitly “web contentâ€.

Note that we will need to formally close this group and start another
with the new name. This is not necessarily a bad thing, as we can now
probably better describe the purpose and processes of the new group.
I'd also like to throw in the mix: "Accessibility Conformance Testing
(ACT) Community Group", to match the name of the related W3C spec and
effort. After all, I think we now consider this will be a longer-term
group that will pre-standardize (incubate) ACT Rules for AGWG.
Best,
