Osorno formula for Ganter–Kapranov 2-characters of crossed modules

Let K=(HG)\mathcal{K}=(H\xrightarrow{\partial}G) be a crossed module whose fundamental group π1(K)\pi_1(\mathcal{K}) is finite. Let Θ\Theta be a 2-representation of K~\widetilde{\mathcal{K}}, and let XΘ(b,a,h)\mathfrak{X}_\Theta({\mathbf{b}},{\mathbf{a}},h) denote its Ganter–Kapranov 2-character. Osorno formula conjecture. There exists an Osorno formula for the value

XΘ(b,a,h).\mathfrak{X}_\Theta({\mathbf{b}},{\mathbf{a}},h).

Such a formula would extend the corresponding formula for finite groups to crossed modules and facilitate a cohomological description of 2-representations and their 2-characters.
