As a US based organization, Apache is unsuited and (given fairly recent
public news) untrusted to have any power of a project such as OpenSSL.
Additionally, the Apache foundation has accumulated so many important
projects over the last few years that it they are becoming a single
point of failure for too many things (or "too big to fail" as it is
called in some other sectors).
Thus I think a different organization would be needed if OpenSSL were
to give up its independence.
There is a similar thread on the openssl-dev mailing list and it was
mentioned there about this project:
http://www.theverge.com/2014/4/24/5646178/google-microsoft-and-facebook-launch-project-to-stop-the
So it's likely that in one way or another OpenSSL will be influenced by
US based organization(s).
