+  summary: Provide beacon node with proposals for the given validators.
+  description: |
+    Prepares the beacon node for potential proposers by supplying information
+    required when proposing blocks for the given validators.  The information
+    supplied for each validator index will persist through the epoch in which
+    the call is submitted and for a further two epochs after that, or until the
+    beacon node restarts.  It is expected that validator clients will send this
+    information periodically, for example each epoch, to ensure beacon nodes have
+    correct and timely fee recipient information.
+
+    Note that there is no guarantee that the beacon node will use the supplied fee
+    recipient when creating a block proposal, so on receipt of a proposed block the
+    validator should confirm that it finds the fee recipient within the block
+    acceptable before signing it.
+
+    Also note that requests containing currently inactive or unknown validator
+    indices will be accepted, as they may become active at a later epoch.
