This is an interesting idea. I wonder if it would prove to be cloneproof? My preference would be to use the original method with limited ranks. I don't see a particular reason why the method couldn't work with three or four slots.

I'm going to just call the method "GIA," myself. Before I slap my name on it, I at least want to program it and have a look at how it works.

This definitely improves RWE, I think. I wonder if a similar alteration to AERWE/Approval Runoff would be preferable?
