Linear growth of distinct free boundary minimal embeddings

Let Nγ,kN_{\gamma,k} be the compact orientable surface of genus γ\gamma with kk boundary components. Embedding-growth conjecture. The number of distinct embeddings of Nγ,kN_{\gamma,k} as a free boundary minimal surface in B3\mathbb{B}^3 grows at least linearly with γ+k\gamma+k. The source gives no resolution.
