Your idea is a little different, but (apparently independently) Douglas
Woodall and Chris Benham proposed a method in which the least-approved
candidate is repeatedly eliminated until there is a majority favorite.
Approval could be indicated by a cutoff, or it could be that all ranked
candidates are approved. If you use a cutoff, then the method is monotonic.
Woodall calls the method "Approval AV" and I've called it "Approval-
Elimination Runoff" or "AER."
