Per the discussion in the 2023-11-13 teleconference, I have merged the design document for different code mode indicators into main and am creating this voting issue.

(chair hat on, seeking clarification)

@echeran Single transferable vote doesn't let you pick two things at the same level. Can you edit your vote to be one of:

D > A > F
A > D > F

(Note that I am treating "others" as a non-vote for any of the other choices)

[echeran]

Single transferable vote doesn't let you pick two things at the same level.

Ah, gotcha. Done.

[ryzokuken]

C > B > D > E > F > A

[duerst]

B > C > D

[mihnita]

E > A > C > F > D > B

[aphillips]

Using STV, the results were: D > A > C > B

I look forward to the conversation into today's (2023-11-20) teleconference
