Interesting... so the trustee(s) would be contractually obligated to abide by the will of the network as expressed by relevant budget proposals that are passed. So if a proposal that stated "The domain dash.org shall be administered by @johndoe for a term of two years beginning January 1 2018" the trustees would have to hand over the dash.org admin to fulfill their fiduciary obligation as trustees.
Of course we would want trustees spread out over multiple jurisdictions, beholden to no authority except the network, holding the multi-sig keys required to fulfill their duties. Those keys would be issued by the network, and can be revoked by the network if necessary.
Very interesting.
sorry... Mr CEO Ryan Taylor Sir...its 3:30 am here in Manila,Philippines and I'm ready to sleep...
If the Dash developers ever splinter and form multiple groups (as has happened with bitcoin -- Bitcoin Core, Bitcoin Unlimited, and others), we'll need a mechanism to resolve the disagreements so that masternode owners can decide which version of the software to use. Despite all the talk about a Dash DAO, we have no DAO-based mechanism in place to resolve disagreements of this type.
Masternode votes only control the budget, and there is no mechanism for these votes to resolve any disagreements between people.
So we need a good solid non-profit organization run by trusted people who have no undisclosed stake in Dash.

I think you're missing the point. With the budget we decide which ' team ' gets paid or not.

Helpful insights...
Those of you who think that
are misjudging the situation.
It doesn't take much of a budget to fork off the code and make small changes -- e.g., change a few constants -- that greatly affect the protocol.
If such a fork were created by some of the core developers, it would be very hard for masternode owners to decide which software version is the authoritative one.
Consider also that in the worst case, discussion forums such as this one would be under control of one of the two splinter groups, and what is currently a relatively censorship-free place for discussions might no longer be one. Just like on Reddit there's /r/Bitcoin (heavily censored so contrary opinions discouraged and often prohibited) and /r/BTC (not censored at all and full of crap).
merely having control of the budget will prevent splinter groups from creating incompatible protocols
