I sent a public message about the .nl requirement to Jaap not long after
his note on the subject, that the EU residency requirement for registrars
provided a contractual equivalent to a <dcp> element, and a simpler form
(for a hypothetical deployment of epp, as .nl wasn't yet epp-operational)
of whois-token, while sufficient for endpoints within the EU, would not be
capable of allowing non-EU endpoints to register .nl domains.
He hasn't responded.
I don't recall the question, at least I don't recognize it. The
basic answer is no. There is no requirement for EU residency for
registars nor registrants. All contracts are under dutch law. To
force this, there should be a dutch adress to which papers can be
presented. But that has nothing to do with privacy apart from the
fact that the dutch privacy law should be followed by .nl.
