Ask HN: Should ICANN be allowed to run example.com

2 pointsby rodionosalmost 7 years ago
The domains example.com and example.org are reserved in RFC 2606 and RFC 6761 for documentation purposes, however they&#x27;re resolvable, hosted on AWS, and serve web content on http and https protocols.<p>The SSL certificates are issued to ICANN: https:&#x2F;&#x2F;crt.sh&#x2F;?Identity=%.example.com<p>However sometimes SSL certificates for example domains issued to other entities: https:&#x2F;&#x2F;crt.sh&#x2F;?id=24560621 but this is tangential.<p>The amount of accidental traffic and queries directed at these domains could be substantial. Some of these requests may contain confidential information. Is this a possible conflict&#x2F;risk or should ICANN be absolved?
