Trademark law does not require you to harass people using your trademark to refer to your product.
I wish people would not try to justify corporate bullying based on a misunderstanding of trademark law.
Also: it's legal counsel, not legal council.

The only case where ICANN Has anything to say is in a case of domain squatting, which this isn't: although Canonical has a trademark interest in "Ubuntu", there's no violation since it's being used nominatively,and it's not being used in bad faith.
