The independent packing conjecture for regular symmetric bodies

Let CC be a regular symmetric body, meaning a smooth, strictly convex centrally symmetric convex body in the plane that is not a linear transform of a disc. Let GG be a (2,2)(2,2)-sparse graph.

Independent packing conjecture. There exists an independent CC-packing with contact graph GG.

This would be an analogue for regular symmetric bodies of the conjectured disc-packing result for (2,3)(2,3)-sparse graphs. The supplied text does not state whether the conjecture has been resolved.
