Nothing is "self-governing" and always requires a legal entity of some kind.
This has implications beyond what the council can be held responsible for.

On the premise of your statement though and through IRC chats, I agree with your
statement.  

I am for by-laws delineating the roles of the council to lead the distribution.
As stated above, some things cannot be delegated. That is, things which have
legal implications, COMREL, etc.

This drives my first comment that nothing is "self-governing" in general.
