cjl,
The assertion that "Nothing we do in amateur rocketry is likely to ever fall under that umbrella." (ITAR and EAR) makes me think you haven't read the regs. Export can and often is transfer of information to a non-US national. Take a look at what is on the United States Munitions List (USML).
That something is well known abroad doesn't provide license for a US person to talk about it with internationals. Sorry. I didn't write the rules, but I have to abide by them.

But OP asserts he is a passport holding US citizen, correct? So it's a big nothing burger in this instance, right?
Sad +1, that's why all the *nix crypto libraries were hosted outside the US for the longest, strangest time. It made no sense, but we needed to comply.
And yet you were able to legally use those crypto libraries in the USA despite the fact they were hosted in Canada, right? I'm not sure what you're trying to assert here other than maybe Mach 3+ specific knowledge regarding rocketry should be hosted outside of the USA?
For the record I'm in the same boat as the OP. Specifically I'm a US citizen living abroad. There are quite a few of us in fact...
