What this means
Registrar visibility describes public registration-layer information. Registrar concentration is not a service-quality measure or risk score. A registrar change may reflect portfolio administration, supplier change, consolidation, organisational restructuring or another legitimate stewardship action.

About this view
Which registrars are visible across the panel, how concentrated is that distribution, and where has the visible registrar changed?
Show the visibility and distribution of registrars across the fixed panel, together with observed changes in registrar stewardship during defined observation windows.
Published limitations
- Derived from public .auDO observations generated from the canonical observatory dataset.
- Counts describe the observed .auDO panel, not the whole .au namespace.
- Missing optional fields are counted as missing rather than inferred.
- Registrar signals describe visible registration data only.
- Registrar movement may reflect administrative change, supplier change, consolidation or normal portfolio management.
- Observed registrar movement does not prove compromise, negligence, non-compliance or loss of control.
Data quality and availability
- Required public event scope: observatory.
