While my vote was counted as intended, I also now know that whatever 
procedure is being used here is *not* what I understood to be IRV.

IRV tally of the above votes as I understand IRV:  
<URL:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instant_run-off_voting>

round 1: (considering first preferences)
   B - 1
   D - 1
   E - 1
   F - 1
   H - 3
   I - 4
11 voters; no option has a majority; eliminate A, C, G for getting no 
votes; eliminate last place which is tied between B, D, E, F

round 2: (instant run-off; only H, I remain)
   DQ: null
   JA: H
   JB: H
   NR: H
   MP: I
   C: H
   A: H
   VV: I
   SM: null
   KH: I
   JT: I
totals:  H - 5 / I - 4 / null - 2
11 voters, two exhausted ballots, 9 votes counted

The result would be option H by a 5 - 4 majority.

I move for a follow-up Aye/Nay ratification vote for this result if this 
is to be taken as the outcome.
