I strongly oppose the proposed amendment. While I agree that some price
increase should be allowed to keep up with inflation, but allowing an
increase of 7% for 8 out of 10 years in the next decade in preposterous.
Especially since Verisign has a monopoly over the .com registry.

Even taking into account the price freeze since 2012, an average inflation
rate of about 2% should lead to about an increase of 43% over 18 years
(2012–2030). The proposed amendment allows Verisign to increase prices by
up to 72%, which is unacceptable.
