Who is buying and selling

Names are grouped as each registry publishes them, with legal suffixes, registry handles and punctuation ignored, so "Microsoft Corporation" and "Microsoft Limited" count together but subsidiaries under other names do not. ARIN publishes only an organisation handle (and country "ZZ") for some transfers into its region. Mergers and acquisitions are excluded; an organisation's page lists them.
