I think you can ask for an outline, but asking for whole content before
accepting the proposal is probably too much. That'll give incentive for

How do you know if the person is a good speaker, has public speaking
skills? Someone can write a beautiful proposal, but fail miserably on
stage. Thats why it is important to look at past videos if available.
