Infrastructure owners trust is the only reason most sysop power structures have any power at all. Whoever "owns the computers and the domain name" chooses personal friends to exercise arbitrary power over everyone else.
The Wikimedia Board of Trustees for instance is 3/5 Bomis employees and has only two token females of non-American origin who have no power whatsoever, not even being consulted in such decisions as how to deal with the Red China block, which the still-reigning GodKing chooses to deal with unilaterally via the "usual happy NPOV talk". See also Wikimedia corruption.
Moving beyond this primitive ritualistic way of assigning power to a real board that has powers to make critical decisions is quite necessary for Consumerium Services to be delivered. The Consumerium Governance Organization will be independent of any particular infrastructure owner, operator or editor.
