+## Abstract
+
+This CIP will propose a new [CIP-13] Extension; introducing a new,
+dedicated `payment` authority and provide support for _Native Assets_ and
+transactional _Metadata_ as well as providing for extensibility and versioning.
+All features lacking in the original [CIP-13] payment URIs.
+
+## Motivation: why is this CIP necessary?
+
+[CIP-13] was originally introduced in early 2021, prior to the Mary hard fork
+event that brought _Native Assets_ to Cardano. Since that time the Cardano
+Native Asset ecosystem has flourished and become a large, multi-million dollar
+economy. However, [CIP-13] Payment URIs have not been updated to support Native
+Assets and have struggled to find adoption amongst mobile wallet creators.
+
+## Specification
+
+**COMING SOON<sup>TM</sup>**
+
+## Rationale: how does this CIP achieve its goals?
+
+This CIP achieves its goals by defining a new, explicit `Payment URI` standard
+that is aligned with modern Cardano transaction standards such as:
+
+* Providing an address to pay to
+* Providing a Lovelace amount to send
+* Providing one (or more) Native Assets to send
+* Providing a transaction metadata message to send
+* Providing an optional datum to include
+
+## Path to Active
+
+### Acceptance Criteria
+
+* [ ] Community Feedback and Review Integrated
+* [ ] At least one wallet supports this payment standard
+* [ ] At least one project utilizing this payment standard
+
+### Implementation Plan
+
+Leveraging existing connections within the ecosystem we will find willing
+partners to integrate this new standard and deploy a proof of concept
+integration.
