Ms. Chollet, for reasons you may be aware of, xNY.io must kindly implore Meta's board of directors to recall all eight USPTO applications by 5:00pm Tuesday April 4, 2022 EST. Being very clear, to make sure there is no confusion to xNY.io's honest aim to protect digital asset innovation, Meta must understand that its USPTO mark filing is defined exactly to the Moscow Exchange mark. Ms. Chollet, laws in Russia and the United States often describe principles relating to integrity and ethical conduct. Anyone who is regulated (anywhere in the world) is subject to fit and proper requirements that can be interpreted at will. - Meta should understand that international peace and security is far more important than unnecessarily urging Meta's board of directors to do the right thing. - Furthermore, xNY.io submits Citigroup's Metaverse and Money whitepaper on regulation profiling Mr. Zuckerburg's idea that, "There are different types of integrity questions." With additional comment from Nadine Dorries, Member of the United Kingdom Parliament and Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, who says "... Rebranding does not work. When harm is caused, we are coming after it." - xNY.io has collated 33 highlights to Citigroup's Metaverse and Money whitepaper for Meta's board as general reference https://drive.google.com/file/d/1REoa87GCmt2uhDp7ZYswbTRw4ygQgjsL/view?usp=… xNY.io asks not whether Meta's mark would damage the market for the Moscow Exchange (by, for example, devaluing it through parody or criticism), but whether it *usurps* the market by offering a competing substitute, potentially causing significant damage to digital asset purity and blockchain software technology innovation. Sending you the very best regards.

Understand, xNY.io did not file USPTO application(s) seeking approval for a mark that is defined near exact to that of Moscow Exchange. - Furthermore, on March 17, 2022 Sber announced <https://www.sberbank.com/news-and-media/press-releases/article?newsID=cd44d…> digital asset issuance. This is one day before Meta's March 18, 2022 USPTO submission for mark approval relating to digital assets. - Meta's board of directors may understand xNY.io's general concern of coordination and/or lack of coordination that could risk global digital asset marketplace purity. - xNY.io asks not whether Meta's mark would damage the market for the Moscow Exchange (by, for example, devaluing it through parody or criticism), but whether it *usurps* the market by offering a competing substitute, potentially causing significant damage to digital asset purity and blockchain software technology innovation. Mr. Chollet, the last point is key to resolving any question of xNY.io's relationship with Moscow Exchange. xNY.io's March 24, 2022 memo to Meta is clear and honest. We expect that Meta will not aim to muddy the waters on this important concern forward. With all due respect, Meta’s board of directors may understand xNY.io cannot logically accept that the recent USPTO applications are not a marketplace manipulation exercise at xNY.io’s overall expense. Meta’s board of directors must ask itself, to the best of its knowledge, information, and belief, if further inquiry is reasonable under the circumstances?
