Obtain a .us domain without a current US nexus?

Question

I have secured domain names for a brand idea that would also sound good with a .us suffix ("us" completes the phrase). If the brand gains recognition I suspect the .us version of the domain will be promptly squatted.The usTLD nexus requirements are stringent: Neustar even has a clause prohibiting the creation of a nexus in the United States "conducted solely or primarily to permit it to register for a usTLD domain name".Thank you for discussing whether a foreigner without a US nexus has additional legitimate options to grudgingly leaving the domain name unregistered.

Find a US person who registers it for you and who also signs a one-paper/contract to give you full power over the use of the domain. I've done this for an Australian domain once. It might get legally challenged by somebody with a similar brand (I personally doubt that) but better than arguing with a domain squatter who surely will ignore any restrictions.
