Hey, look. If ICANN were to account for every little possible trademark infringment before acting, tomorrow would never come.

Nor is it feasible for ICANN to account for every incident of GENUINE infringment--and if they did, I am afraid the rights of the owners of GENERIC domains will be butchered. Remember: GENERICS NEED PROTECTION AS FAIR-GAME.

ICANN must tend to the Internet root, and other technical matters. They have to deal with how registries and registrars operate in a manner that is fair and proper.

ICANN can NOT be in the business of trademark protection!

If your trademark is being infringed upon--and you have the legal right to monopolize the name, word or phrase in ALL venues--then take it up with arbiters (hopefully they will begin doing their job properly) and judges.
