The characterization of amenable Hilbert geometries as GnG_n-polygons

Let (C,dC)(\mathcal{C},d_\mathcal{C}) be a Hilbert geometry. Recall that it is amenable when, for some separated net XX of C\mathcal{C}, the pseudo-group of bounded perturbations of the identity, W(X)\mathcal{W}(X), is amenable. A GnG_n-polygon is a Hilbert geometry of the stated type.

Amenability characterization. A Hilbert geometry is amenable if and only if it is a GnG_n-polygon.

The question seeks a converse to the known fact that every GnG_n-polygon is amenable. The preceding theorem characterizes amenability by the vanishing of the bottom of the spectrum, but the provided text does not establish whether every amenable Hilbert geometry is a GnG_n-polygon.
