Would you like a pony as well?

Not only you have conflicting requirements (something to be part of the internet infrastructure while controlled by a single org) your comment gives absolutely zero constructive criticism. What about the fediverse was so bad that warrants anything like "face-planted in it's (sic) time to shine?" How/who/what are you supporting that is trying to get to the goals you listed?

The internet infrastructure is defined by central authorities. You follow the IETF's and ICANN's rules or you are definitionally not on the internet.

I am reasonably confident that DNS, TCP/IP and "social bookmarking" are each on different layers of the OSI networking model, but ok.
