CORRECCIÓN:
Lydianette, por favor toma nota de que después de "propose" se usa el gerundio (we propose placing).
Me equivoqué porque iba a escribir "we intend to place" y cambié de idea en el último segundo :)

Discussion
Propose is one of those words which change meaning depending on whether followed by infinitive or gerund
Propose + infinitive = intention
Propose + gerund = suggestion
Since any verb, even the highly irregular BE, will occur in the -ing form in all
of these constructions, we propose to abandon analyses which treat the Present
Participle and Gerund in English as different inflectional forms syncretised
throughout the class of verbs.
