I wonder - could ICANN and IANA have done more to prevent this?

Before I can even hope to answer this, I need to know more

Administration at the school, one of Germany’s top ten high schools, confirmed today they are an INAIC approved reseller of Top-Level Domains (TLDs). The press release <http://inaic.com/index.php?p=news-01-06-2009>

What the heck is a "reseller of TLDs"? What is INAIC? And what is this list of "TLD registrars"? http://inaic.com/index.php?p=tld-registrars

From a cursory looks of things, it appears that the school was the perpetrator of a scam as much as it was the victim of one...
