Projection conjecture for large arcs and common zeros of quadrics

From papers

Let XX be an arc of size 2k+32k+3 in PG(k1,F)\mathrm{PG}(k-1,{\mathbb F}), and let UU be the subspace of quadratic forms that vanish on XX. If

dimU(k12)1,\dim U \geqslant {k-1 \choose 2}-1,

then projection conjecture. The projection of V(U)V(U) to PG(3,q)\mathrm{PG}(3,q) from any k4k-4 points of V(U)V(U) is contained in the intersection of two linearly independent quadratic forms. The conjecture extends the paper's observed examples, most of which project onto intersections of two quadrics; the supplied text does not indicate whether it has been resolved.
