This is just a bit of CYA on my part.  CipherShed is not technically
US based, but this covers me and the others in the US in case someone
in the US government feels differently.  In the US, lawyers could
argue that we automatically *are* US based simply because there are so
many of us in the US who are participating.

Besides, it's just a simple email based reporting requirement.  They
don't even typically reply.  It's not like I have to send them private
keys or anything.  I'm sure they already know about CipherShed anyway.
 Hopefully the NSA and and GCHQ will have professional cryptanalysts
join the community and help us root out any Chinese or Russion
back-doors.  Then the trick will be to get the Chinese and Russians to
help us root out the NSA and GCHQ back doors :-)
