Conjecture on the extended period map for I-surfaces

Let M\mathcal{M} be the moduli space of I-surfaces, let M~\widetilde{\mathcal{M}} be its natural blowup along the boundary strata, and let Φ ⁣:MΓ\D\Phi\colon \mathcal{M}\to\Gamma\backslash D be the period map with image ZZ. Let S1,1,1\mathcal{S}_{1,1,1} denote the codimension-33 stratum corresponding to the elliptic ruled case with multiplicities (1,1,1)(1,1,1). For a boundary point, let NiN_i be the logarithms of monodromy around the local boundary components, and let ImNi\operatorname{Im}N_i be the associated subspaces. Extended period map conjecture. There exists an analytic space Z\overline{Z}, a partial compactification of ZZ, such that: (i) the boundary points of Φ~\widetilde{\Phi} contain the nilpotent orbit of the limiting mixed Hodge structure together with the unordered collection of subspaces ImNi\operatorname{Im}N_i; and (ii) after replacing M~\widetilde{\mathcal{M}} by M^\widehat{\mathcal{M}}, obtained by a sequence of toric blowups over boundary strata, the period map extends to a holomorphic map

Φ^ ⁣:M^Z.\widehat{\Phi}\colon \widehat{\mathcal{M}}\to\overline{Z}.

This conjecture is motivated by compactification theories for period maps and by the described monodromy of the boundary. It predicts a partial compactification recording the limiting mixed Hodge data and resolving the period map after toric modifications; the source does not state whether it has been proved or disproved.
