Subject: [PATCH 4/7] Modified the proposed group name from Decentralized Web
Interest Group (DWIG) to Decentralized Interest Group (DIG). Within the W3C
the name is unique. Outside the W3C the group would be prefixed with W3C and
become known as the W3C DIG. Naming conflicts are hard to avoid and exist
with other organizations outside the W3C.
