Well, I remember some discussions when we worked on the mission
statement - the difficulty to distinguish between the legally
established foundation and the group/community/activity working towards
that goal.

So my proposals ...

If we state "Foundation" (without "The" and "Foundation") let's state
"activity" - I'd like to keep this first bullet point. Its our
history :-)

If we say "The Document Foundation", how about saying "The Document
Foundation group" or "The Document Foundation activity".

I know the latter might sound a bit passive, but it might suite our
needs until the legal status is established.

Cheers,
Christoph
