There isn't any standard form yet. I'm not convinced the Foundation should want people to assign copyright to it though. Isn't it a lot safer if we don't have ownership of any of the content? If we only own the trademarks and domain name, there's a lot less to lose should the Board go crazy and sell out to Microsoft or if someone successfully sues us.
