To all involved at the SEC: I am fervently urging the SEC to NOT ALLOW to NYSE to list "Natural Asset Companies" or NACs , pursuant to File No. SR-NYSE-2023-09. NACs seek to use others' money, including that obtained via the capital markets to buy the ability to control or "manage" productive public and PRIVATE land and other natural resources. Their purpose in doing so is not to make a profit or to be productive but to control "assets" that are the rights of others. NACs are not only a "new type of company", something that is highly irregular and should required much scrutiny, but have also employed their own type of accounting system. As stated by IED's Chairman and CEO who said "We created a new accounting system, which we called Statements of Ecological Performance, which account for the ecosystem services in financial terms"(Source: investinginregenerativeagriculture.com/2022/11/29/dou). If they use separate accounting measures within the financial markets raises too many red flags to count and should be IMMEDIATELY DISQUALIFYING. Do the right thing and not what the political and elite power driven push; DO NOT ALLOW NACs TO ACCESS OUR CAPITAL MARKETS VIA NYSE LISTINGS OR OTHERWISE. Thank you, Cathy Whiteman a concerned citizen.
