Dear folks,

I forgot the name of the following multi-winner method:

1. Each candidate ranks all candidates, herself on top.
2. Each voter votes for one candidate.
3. The candidate who holds the smallest number of votes is excluded and 
her votes are transfered to the next candidate on her list who is still 
in the race.
4. Step 3 is repeated until the sought number of candidates remains.

Does anyone know how this is called? Perhaps STV-something?

Thanks,
Jobst
