On a lark in 2005, I reported Unilever to ICANN after being unable to reach a person regarding a domain they owned but had gone unused since its creation (according to Wayback). I helped our team file an official domain ownership dispute then promptly forgot about it since it was in our lawyer's hands.
Six months later I noticed that ownership had changed and much to the chagrin of our domain manager and legal representative who was supposed to handle the whole thing; the domain was in the hands of another company who had legal trademark right in another industry.
Not sure if corollary is causal here, but it 'FELT' like ICANN worked for a brief second, there.
