Re: Proposed new name for this group: Community Group Program CG

Hello,

We have renamed this group the “Community Group Program CG”. Although we have updated our short name on GitHub:
 https://github.com/w3c/cg-program

we have not (yet) done so for in URLs for other resources used by the CG: mailing list, wiki, calendar, etc.

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/
