No, I'm sure that IANA/ICANN has not authorized the use. All INAIC is doing is 
to point to the authority for COM/NET/ORG domains and 
provide a link to them. I'm no lawyer, but there is the concept of "acceptable 
use". 

I think INAIC is just providing a "links" page to other naming authorities and 
is doing a service to the community.

No need to cause a fuss, IMO.

    I am quite surprised that IANA might be an ICANN registered TM and not an 
USG/NTIA registered one. ICANN is only delegated by yearly renewed agreement 
the management of the IANA function. 

    May be this is something you want to check first. 



  No - I'm fine with their ownership of the word mark.  I just want to know if 
they authorized INAIC to use it as part of their TLD registry promotion page as 
per:
