I fully agree with you - it doesn't seem like a TB matter. It was
suggested that the TB was appropriate for contesting the inclusion of
the Ubuntu One client by default (not that it has happened yet), but the
CC certainly seems more appropriate for the trademark issue. The
trademark policy even mentions that the CC is the arbitrator in some
circumstances.
