Greetings!  I will emerge from the shadows to point out that WMF *was*
originally incorporated as a membership organization, with criteria for
membership, public pages about membership and discussions about how to
implement the details.  However, its articles of incorporation were later
changed under very likely illegal circumstances (through a vote made
without informing their membership).  It's very possible that the many
original members still have the standing to remedy this unfortunate
situation of a self-appointing Board—if they can organize such a push.

The long story:
