"We propose the session focuses on ..." or "We propose the session focus on ..." Which is correct?

Question

I understand a verb in English needs to match the sentence subject. Is the subject here "we" or "session", or am I seeing this incorrectly?

Both we and session are subjects. A fuller rendition of the sentence is We propose that* the session focus on..., with that* marking the start of a new clause. Since the verb focus is in the subjunctive mood here, it ought to be focus, not focuses. — Anonym, Sep 22 '14 at 01:56

Thanks to tchrist, here is my answer.

This is a subjunctive sentence, as explained here:

So, the answer is "We propose that the session focus on ..."
