How is someone losing their key a "technical problem"?
we will adopt a 2-out-of-3 threshold mechanism for the management of private keys
The trustee responsible has resigned so why weaken security going forward?
I would have thought cryptography experts losing keys would be pretty rare, like a fire at a Sea Parks.
Confidentiality that undermines availability might be good cryptography but it violates basic tenets of information security.
The human half of the problem is the loss of the key; the technical half of the problem is being unable to decrypt the election results.

I don't think there's a scenario in which a 2-of-3 threshold is a significant risk to IACR.
