Substitute repetitions of OpenJS Foundation in docs #133
Conversation
Now that we have a name, reading OpenJS Foundation has become rather repetitive :) This PR uses the useful legal pattern of writing a sentence around the first instance along the lines of: ...in the OpenJS Foundation, hereinafter referred to as the "Foundation". The scope of a statement like this is limited to each document, so there won't be spillover in the larger corpus of OpenJS Foundation governance.

The word "hereinafter" sounds unusual but IMO writing out that in the document we're subsequently calling the OpenJS Foundation just "Foundation" is worth the extra words to avoid ambiguity.
