Nonnegative-coefficient conjecture for affine configuration sums

Let P(p,p)P^{(p,p')} be the parameter set used for the affine weights, let P+rP_{+}^{r} denote the dominant weights at level rr, and let Xη,Λ,Λ(q)X_{\eta,\Lambda,\Lambda'}(q) be the configuration sum defined in the paper. Nonnegativity conjecture. If

ppn+10,p'-p-n+1\geq0,

and Λ,ΛP(p,p)\Lambda,\Lambda'\in P^{(p,p')} satisfy

Λ+(p1)(p/p1)Λ0P+ppn+1,\Lambda'+(p-1)(p'/p-1)\Lambda_0\in P_{+}^{p'-p-n+1},

then Xη,Λ,Λ(q)X_{\eta,\Lambda,\Lambda'}(q) is a polynomial with nonnegative coefficients. The claim is motivated by extensive computer-assisted experiments, and no proof or resolution is supplied here.
