Three groups:

  1. The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers, the non-profit in charge of domain names.
  2. Domain sponsors, the organization that agrees to provide the infrastructure for a particular top level domain. For example, .com is sponsored by Verisign.
  3. The registrar you deal with has a license from the sponsor to sell registrations for a top level domain.

You pay the registrar, the registrar pays the sponsor, and the sponsor pays ICANN.
