Copy edits for Standing Committees and Working Groups documentation

[JasonWeill]

The files standing_committees_and_working_groups.md and list_of_standing_committees_and_working_groups.md have some issues:

• standing_committees_and_working_groups refers to the "EB", using the now-obsolete term "Executive Board". This should be replaced with "Executive Council" or "EC" (spelled out on first reference)
• list_of_standing_committees_and_working_groups should include a brief description of what a Standing Committee (SC) is and what a Working Group (WG) is
• standing_committees_and_working_groups uses long bulleted lists to define SCs and WGs, and aspects common to both. For improved readability, these should be flattened into prose paragraphs.
• Clarify that a team should have a public presence, not necessarily on GitHub. Discourse or a web site are also sufficient.

Jason - can you add this to the list: I'd like to edit this to say "a public presence" so that it doesn't have to be on GH. Could be Discourse.: The specific section I'm talking about is the one that reads "Maintain a public GitHub repository with basic information (council members, charter, public meetings, SSC representative, etc.) for purposes of transparency and consistency."

Follow up. As a discussion point for the EC I will get more info on expectations or process for making changes to the Governance documents. It may or may not be the case that editorial points such as fixing a typo like EB vs EC have to follow a different process than a more substantive change. I'll share more info once we have time in the agenda to include this in a future meeting. This is coming up for me because here and in another place where I'm proposing a structure for founding new Standing Committees and Working Groups. Essentially what I need to clarify is who votes on proposed changes.
