australian english - What's the word for the person (or party) making a proposition?


The word I'm after would apply in a situation where one party proposes that another do something, and the second party accepts of rejects the proposal. In this situation, the proposal is proffered by whom?


For that matter, what is the term for the second party?


Proposor and proposee just don't sound correct.
