The votes so far are:

 ian: UL DL OL VL GR *FD* UT OT VT DT
 andi: UL DL OL VL *FD* GR UT DT OT VT

 steve: UL DL *FD* OL VL UT DT OT=VT GR
 russ: DT GR DL UT *FD* OT VT UL OL VL
 colin: UL DL OL UT DT GR *FD* OT VL VT
 don: DT DL UT UL OT OL VT VL GR *FD*

 ian2: FD UL DL OL VL GR UT OT VT DT
 andi2: FD UL DL OL VL GR UT DT OT VT

With the initial vote, the following options are eliminated:

 OT, VT  (ian, andi, steve, russ vote these below FD)

With Ian and Andi's changed votes, the following options are eliminated:

 OL, VL (ian2, andi2, steve, russ vote these below FD)

That leaves UL, UT, DL, DT and GR still in the race against FD.

If Steve changes his vote to FD > *, and Russ does likewise as he's
stated, the vote will be decided as FD again.

If no one changes their vote, then, at present, the comparisons are:

  UL = FD 3:3 (steve, colin, don in favour; russ, ian2, andi2 against)
  UT = FD 3:3 (russ, colin, don in favour; steve, ian/ian2, andi/andi2 against)
  DT = FD 3:3 (russ, colin, don in favour; steve, ian/ian2, andi/andi2 against)
  GR = FD 3:3 (russ, colin, don in favour; steve, ian2, andi/andi2 against)

So those options will be eliminated if Bdale and Keith don't vote, or
if either Bdale or Keith vote them below FD.

  DL > FD 4:2 (ian2, andi2 against)

That can only be eliminated at this point if both Bdale and Keith vote
it below FD. It's the only option that had all six original votes
ranking it above FD.

(As it stands, DL would thus win the vote since all other options are
eliminated)

As it stands, that also means that Bdale and Keith could collude to
determine the outcome of the vote amonst {D,U}{L,T} by only voting the
option they prefer above FD.

GR comparisons are:

  UL > GR 5:1 (russ against)
  UT = GR 3:3 (steve, colin, don in favour; ian, andi, russ against)
  DL > GR 6:0
  DT > GR 4:2 (ian, andi against)

Rankings between remaning actual outcomes is:

  4x  UL > DL > UT > DT  (steve, colin, ian, andi)
  2x  DT > DL > UT > UL  (russ, don)

So that's

   UL > DL > DT  4:2
   UL > UT > DT  4:2
   DL > UT  6:0

It seems to me that if this ballot fails to FD, any future ballots
should skip options:

  OT, VT  (insufficient support over FD)
  OL, VL  (at least 6 of 8 committee members prefer UL and DL over
these options)

It seems unlikely that there's any actual support for UT, either.


Cheers,
