The solution to this, then, is obvious.

nic.at is clearly unable to setup and run a satisfactory registry 
operation so ICANN should move quickly to revoke nic.at's status and 
distribute nic.at's userbase, including the clearly very scummy part of 
it, to others with at least a smattering of clue about the kinds of 
things running a responsible registry actually involves.

Of course, that assumes ICANN actually gives a rat's arse -- I don't 
recommend you hold your breath...
