Proposed new name for this group: Community Group Program CG

Dear Council,

During our 3 September discussion [1] it was observed that having the word “Council” in the name of this group might
create confusion with the “W3C Council" [2] defined in the Process Document. It was suggested we rename this CG.
Dom and I propose “Community Group Program CG.”

We invite other suggestions and will make a decision around 26 September. 

One note: The current short name for the group is “council” and that short name is used in a variety of places including mailing list names. Our plan is to leave those resource names as-is, but to change our GitHub repo URL with a new short name. If we go with “Community Group Program” for example, we would change https://github.com/w3c/cg-council/ to something like https://github.com/w3c/cgp/

Thank you,

Ian and Dom
