On data trustees, I think a really good example is Midata <https://www.midata.coop/en/home/>, which serves as data trustee for health data. It's a nonprofit, with a cooperative governance structure, based on a Swiss legal framework. But they help set up similar structures in other countries and they were founded by well respected researchers. (full disclosure: I consulted with them for a bit before starting my work at WMF.)
