Thurston's conjecture on convex hyperbolic metrics with prescribed boundary metric

Let MM be a 3-dimensional manifold with boundary which admits a complete, convex co-compact metric. For a smooth metric hh on M\partial M with curvature K>1K>-1, the boundary metric is prescribed as follows: the hyperbolic metric on MM must induce hh on M\partial M.

Thurston's conjecture. There is a unique hyperbolic metric gg on MM which induces hh on the boundary, and for which the boundary is convex.

This conjecture generalizes the boundary-value problem for hyperbolic metrics on the 3-dimensional ball to other 3-manifolds with boundary. The supplied text does not state whether it has been resolved.
