Positive-relatedness conjecture for Riemannian g.o. metrics

Let g1,,gkg_1,\dots,g_k be a family of positively related Riemannian metrics on a homogeneous space. A family is positively related when its metrics admit a common decomposition

gj=i=1sajiαi,g_j=\sum_{i=1}^s a_{ji}\alpha_i,

with aji>0a_{ji}>0 for all i,ji,j and fixed invariant scalar products αi\alpha_i on the irreducible summands. Positive-relatedness conjecture. If one metric of this family is a geodesic-orbit (g.o.) metric, then every metric in the family is also a g.o. metric. This proposes that the g.o. property is shared throughout a positively related family, although the source notes that a proof in full generality does not seem easy.
