The derivative conjecture for formal multiple Eisenstein series

Let Ef\mathcal{E}^f be the formal multiple Eisenstein-series algebra, let Gf\mathcal{G}^f be the ambient formal algebra, and let θ=Dφ\theta=-\mathcal{D}\circ\varphi on the relevant word space. The derivative conjecture for formal multiple Eisenstein series. One should have θ=φ\theta=\varphi in Ef\mathcal{E}^f, so that Ef\mathcal{E}^f is an sl2\mathfrak{sl}_2-subalgebra of Gf\mathcal{G}^f; moreover, for every wH2w\in\mathfrak{H}^{\geq2},

2πiddτG(w)=G(θ(w)).2\pi i\frac{d}{d\tau}G(w)=G(\theta(w)).

In particular, 2πiddτ2\pi i\frac{d}{d\tau} should be a well-defined derivation on E\mathcal{E}. The formulas are known in certain formal or classical settings, but the stated identification and full derivation claim remain open.
