Abbreviation Schemes

This page lists potential Abbreviation Schemes.

The new approach for selecting the abbreviation schemes will involve a series of rounds of voting. At each vote, the abbreviation scheme that receives the least number of votes will be removed from the next round of voting. The rounds of voting will continue until there is one abbreviation scheme left.

The rounds of voting will begin on May 21st, 2021 and each round will be open for eight calendar days. The start date of subsequent rounds will be announced in due course.

To vote in Round 1, please enter your preference at https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1olw72tUc-YxfLSf1EcKMFPevgu4BKocuW4Ad7uZQqOY/viewform
