Example.dom was placed in the pubic domain by a public and open RFC process. It seems that IANA has violated this process and in so doing exceeded the authority vested in them by their contract with DARPA (and the DOC?).
Erm. No, RFC2606 specifically says: 3. Reserved Example Second Level Domain Names The Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) also currently has the following second level domain names reserved which can be used as examples. example.com example.net example.org 4. IANA Considerations IANA has agreed to the four top level domain name reservations specified in this document and will reserve them for the uses indicated. In other words, they're IANA reserved, and you're permitted to use them for the purposes listed in the RFC.
