I agree with the NCC in regards of "not trusting an LIR". Becoming an
LIR is easy (money wise and procedure wise) and does not imply a high
value of trust for the LIR.

We don't have this problem at the moment as all of our customers are
companies and there is no problem with sending the company
registration papers.

I'm not sure if there is a good solution for all the countrys the NCC
is providing service for. Still at least for Germany the NCC should
find another way instead of requiring people to break the law.

Regards

Sebastian
