I don't see "SQM" adding clarity (and risks bike-shedding over
what constitutes 'Smarter...' and whether that implies scheduling
algorithms any more than 'Active..." does).

The (draft) full name "Active Queue Management and Packet Scheduling"
seems entirely reasonable, even if unpronounceable as an acronym.

(But if we're interested in alternative names: since pkt scheduling
usually implies N>1 queues, which implies classification prior
to queue-ification, perhaps the "CQS" working group instead? For
"classification, queuing and scheduling". 'Cos we might want to
also say a few words about how traffic is classified into these
actively managed and scheduled queue(s)...)
