There doesn't seem to be anything official so far. This convention was called to discuss the subject of limiting the power and jurisdiction of the federal government rather than already set in stone individual amendments. The pamphlet did provide some examples of what most likey will be the amendments.

What Sort of Amendments could be passed?
Examples

A balanced budget amendment
Reducing federal spending power (Fixing the General Welfare Clause)
Reducing federal regulatory power (fixing the Commerce Clause)
A prohibition of using international treaties and law to govern the domestic law of the USA
Imposing real checks and balance on the Supreme Court (Such as Term limits)
Placing a limit on federal taxation
