Morphology
The meaning 'an authority group that makes and enforces rules' is directly and compositionally derived from 'governing' (holding power to make and enforce rules) + 'body' (a collective group). Although the entry describes a technical decentralized implementation, the core sense of 'a group that governs' is predictable and cross-linguistically common, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents would understand it.
Etymology
Governing body is used for digital platforms too: governing still means making rules and body can mean a set of computer rules plus people who vote. So a tech governing body is 'a system' of code and votes that decides how the platform works.
