It's not the same. Improved Condorcet Approval is Condorcet//Approval with a
tweak to eliminate favorite betrayal incentive. There's no effort to be
Smith-efficient. (I don't think such an effort could be successful.)

What's the matter with ICA? Let's see:

1. It is not 100% Condorcet-efficient. This could be a deal-breaker if you
insist on electing a Condorcet winner no matter how iffy some of his pairwise
wins are.
2. It makes no effort to be Smith-efficient, relying on Approval instead.
3. Cloning the winner, such that a cycle is created, can move the win to 
someone outside the clone set, if none of those clones are the approval
winner.
4. I don't think it works well with an explicitly-placed approval cutoff.
I think it makes burying strategy too unlikely to backfire, if a voter is
not obligated to approve a candidate he potentially uses solely to prevent
another candidate from being the decisive (Condorcet) winner.
5. The FBC tweak, and why it works, is not the easiest thing to explain.
