Specialness conjecture for affine spaces associated with inflated conjugacy classes

Let GG be an algebraic group, let PP be a parabolic subgroup with unipotent radical NN, and let CC be a conjugacy class in P/NP/N. Let DD be the inflation of CC to PP, and let NCN^C be the largest normal subgroup of PP contained in NN such that, for every γD\gamma\in D, all elements of DγNCD\cap\gamma N^C have the same canonical parabolic. For δC\delta\in C, write PδNP_{\delta N} for the connected stabiliser of δN\delta N in PP. Specialness conjecture. For any γD\gamma\in D, the affine space γN/NC\gamma N/N^C is PδNP_{\delta N}-special. The conjecture relates inflated conjugacy classes, canonical parabolic subgroups and special homogeneous spaces; the supplied text does not state whether it has been proved or remains open.
