The contents field contains the details of the proposal, including the title, description and the upgrade plan.

Upgrade plan specifies the height at which the upgrade will be executed, the upgrade name, and the URLs to the upgrade binaries.

Note that if the upgrade proposal passes, the blockchain will halt at the specified height, so it's important for node operators to configure their infrastructure to be ready for the upgrade at the specified height.
