 :I have uploaded a paper on the Schulze STV method, a Condorcet STV method  . I believe that the Schulze STV method is the optimal Condorcet STV method for the LOPSA because of the following reasons: 

 :#The LOPSA already uses the Schulze method for internal referendums. See article 8.3 of the LOPSA bylaws! 
 :#Suppose M is the number of seats. When the Schulze STV method is being used then it is sufficient to compare every set A of M candidates with every other set B of M candidates that differs from set A in exactly one candidate. However, for other Condorcet STV methods (e.g. Tideman's CPO-STV method) it is necessary to compare every set A of M candidates with every other set B of M candidates.
