Cubical area growth conjecture for finite-genus constant-mean-curvature surfaces

Let MM be a complete surface of finite genus embedded in R3\mathbb{R}^3 with constant mean curvature. Say that MM has at most cubical area growth if there is a constant CC depending on MM such that, for every ambient ball of radius RR, the area of MM inside that ball is less than CR3CR^3. Cubical area growth conjecture. Such an MM has at most cubical area growth. In particular, every such surface is properly embedded in R3\mathbb{R}^3. This conjecture is motivated by the preceding properness result for complete embedded constant-mean-curvature surfaces of finite topology; the supplied source does not state whether the finite-genus claim has been resolved.
