This is an individual opinion. Key reconstruction would require more than three
Key Share Holders.

There are not three US people in any category, but I did not read how the key
was split.  If two Crypto Officers and a backup crypto officer cound as
three, then I'm wrong: a US NSL takes it.

Those roles do not have the ability to do that.

I was also assuming that CO's for east coast do not also have west coast
keys, but I may be wrong here.

The above is ambiguous.

Sorry for being brief.

S. Moonesamy
