I wish there was a good nonprofit 'infrastructure cooperative' that could provide some of these core services but have a corporate governance that could be trusted. The place I most want it for is a domain name registrar but DNS and mail servers would be good additional services.

You know, if you started one, I bet there would be a bunch of people here who would use it. I would be one of them (but I don't have the time to start such an endeavor).

Put up an ASK HN and see what happens.
