If anyone is associated with one of the 21 ccTLD registries they're fooling, I'd be particularly interested in hearing from you.
In the case of .lu, the requirement to have a representative in the country have been dropped several months ago, for exactly that reason: it is useless and can easily be worked around. We very much prefer to have a policy of high prices for the domain name registrations, to make the TLD unattractive for spammers/scammers/domainers and other small time crooks. Works outstandingly well. The registry operator is a not for profit. Hence, selling volumes to make loads of money is not a business target. Patrick Vande Walle
