Jeremy, This is from http://www.ecommons.net/aoir/cfp.html
Proposals for papers should be in the form an approximately 500-750 word abstract. Creative presentations and demonstration projects should consist of an approximately 500-750 word abstract, plus brief illustrative material. Panels will generally include three to four papers or presentations. The panel organizer should submit an approximately 500 word statement describing the session topic, include abstracts of up to 250 words for each paper or presentation, and indicate that each author is willing to participate in the session.
That is what I've been going by in prepping a panel proposal. I guess part of the rationale here is that panel organizors should/will be performing some level of selection for quality and cohesiveness, so that referees look at the presentation as a whole rather than part-wise. Alex

can you tell me where you are getting this information from? i am asking because the proposal system says that every paper, including those in panels gets up to 700 words and each panel description can have 700 words for itself, the papers are separate from the panel., this means a panel with 4 papers could have 3500 words as it has 5 parts of up to 700 words....
a stand alone paper is allowed up to 700 words.
in either case that should be sufficient to provide enough information to review your proposal.

I have been worried about the differences in proposing as a paper or a panel as well. Note that propositions of stand-alone papers relate to a 500 word summary, while papers within panels should be summarised in 250 words. I think that poses a further problem to
there is no significant effect on acceptance whether it's a paper or panel submission, evaluation is made on the basis of content and not kind.
