IANA-managed Reserved Domains
Certain domains are set aside, and nominally registered to “IANA”, for specificpolicy or technical purposes.
Example domains
As described inRFC 2606 andRFC 6761,a number of domains such asexample.com andexample.orgare maintained for documentation purposes. These domains may be used as illustrativeexamples in documents without prior coordination with us. They are not available for registration or transfer.
Test IDN top-level domains
These domains were temporarily delegated by IANA for theIDN Evaluation being conducted byICANN.

Policy-reserved domains
We act as both the registrant and registrar for a select number of domainswhich have been reserved under policy grounds. These exclusions aretypically indicated in either technical standards (RFC documents),orcontractual limitations.
Domains which are described as registered to IANA or ICANN on policygrounds are not available for registration or transfer, with the exceptionofcountry-name.info domains. These domains are available for releaseby the ICANN Governmental Advisory Committee Secretariat.
Other Special-Use Domains
There is additionally aSpecial-Use Domain Names registry documenting special-use domains designated by technical standards. For further information, seeSpecial-Use Domain Names (RFC 6761).
