Stabilization conjecture for the arc operad

Let Arc\mathcal{A}rc be the arc operad, and let FatStGTree{}^{\rm Fat}{\mathcal S}t{\mathcal{GT}ree} denote the stabilized fat graph operad. A suitable stabilization conjecture for the arc operad. There is a suitable stabilization FatStArc{}^{\rm Fat}{\mathcal S}t\mathcal{A}rc of a thickening of Arc\mathcal{A}rc whose 00--term is the disc and which contains FatStGTree{}^{\rm Fat}{\mathcal S}t{\mathcal{GT}ree} as a suboperad; consequently, the group completion of

⨿n0FatStArc(n)\amalg_{n\geq 0}{}^{\rm Fat}{\mathcal S}t\mathcal{A}rc(n)

is an infinite loop space. This would extend the infinite-loop-space construction from stabilized fat graphs to a stabilization of the arc operad; the source presents this as a suitable stabilization to be constructed, and no resolution is given.
