You said that this method was based on a cloneproof single-winner method.

Woodall generalized the clone criteria in 
http://www.votingmatters.org.uk/issue3/p5.htm to "Clone-in", 
"Clone-no-harm", and "Clone-no-help", so clone independence could more 
easily be applied to multiwinner methods. He noted that "Clone-no-harm" 
conflicts with the DPC, and generally, isn't desirable in proportional 
multiwinner methods.

My question is then: do you know whether the multiwinner method you've 
given passes the clone independence criteria useful for multiwinner 
methods (i.e. "clone-in" and "clone-no-help")?
