The IG has no formal remit to +set the MCP roadmap or determine the disposition of SEPs; these priorities are +intended to focus discussion, implementation, and feedback. + +## 1. Mature Existing Extension Work + +Complete the transition of existing SEP proposals into fully fledged +experimental extensions. Each extension should have SDK implementations and +clear evidence that the community wants and will use it before it is proposed +for graduation. + +## 2. Prepare Pre-flight Requests for Review + +Bring the pre-flight request proposal +([SEP-1862](https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/modelcontextprotocol/pull/1862)) +to a state where it is ready for substantive review. This remains a core +protocol proposal rather than an experimental extension. + +## 3. Separate Human and Agent Content Presentation + +Explore how content intended for human formatting and display can be represented +separately from content intended for agents. The goal is to let clients provide +good human-facing experiences without compromising the structured content +agents need. + +## 4. Evaluate Annotation Proposals + +Gather the proposed annotation SEPs, evaluate how they relate to one another and +to the extension work, and provide consolidated feedback to their authors and +reviewers.
