It might be small but I think it’s a good example of successful self-organisation away from government/business/finance.

It's definitely not small, and backbones and intercontinental cables and such are not self-organization.

Late 90-s and early 00-s web, however were such an example. But they still relied on benevolence of ICQ and AIM owners, OS vendors, organizations making standards.

Public key infrastructure, but specifically - the current centralized system with root certificates which everyone trusts, that the Web uses.
