It needs impartiality. The double decker diffuser argument just proved that although the teams love each other now, when it's about the racing, they'll do what they want to do and they'll act selfishly. Any innovations will be banned in this way, especially if they're made by a privateer team

yes, that's the whole point really isnt it - a self managed sport by the competing teams? i dont see that as possible.
Historically, the power brokers of f1 have counterbalanced the powers of the teams. And whilst it goes a bit wobbly from time to time, it tends to stay somewhat balanced to a common line between the 2 separate interest groups.
So really, in a FOTA series, there will need to be a counterbalance of management to keep things stable, and avoid the hissy fits of which you speak. The details are very sparse, but really this is just an announcement from the teams that they're looking for a new bride to be more competent than their current partner, who has an overinflated opinion of their worth.
