- * ADMINISTRATIVE CONTACT (organization and private persons):
The administrative contact must be a legal representative of the organization.
The administrative contact person may be identical to the technical and/or billing contact but is all case the official contact person for administrative and policy questions concerning the domain.

"Country : Luxembourg" has to be set by default and may not be changed. In the latter case, the administrative contact must be in possession of a power of attorney.
In case of a "moral person" the administrative contact must be part of the organization at the same address as the entity. If this is not possible, as well as for a holder as a private person without residence in Luxembourg, the administrative contact must be in possession of a power of attorney and supply the registry with this document upon registration.
This document must be joined to the application form to enable to start the registration procedure.
* TECHNICAL CONTACT:
