example.com, example.net, and example.org are currently served by EdgeCast CDN (now Edgio). Edgio went bankrupt and the CDN will be shutdown on January 15 [0]. As of January 14, the example domains still resolve to 93.184.215.14 which is an EdgeCast IPv4 address [1][2]. I'm not sure who in IANA or IETF manages these domains [3]. If you have scripts, tests, or infrastructure that reference these domains, you might get errors or outages if these domains are not updated by January 15. Disclosure: I previously worked at EdgeCast and remembered that we were serving these domains. [0] https://docs.edg.io/applications/v7/release_notes
