The NIB agrees, but points out that this is not being called for in I-0436. The 
current OR process calls for the evaluator to submit an OR to the CCEVS. During 
its research on providing an OD in response, the Chief Validator body of the 
CCEVS -- not the evaluator -- consults with the PP author. 

As a result of such an OD, a PD entry is made, thereby capturing the intent of 
the PP author. This should address the concern about getting a different answer 
to the same question: after the answer has been captured, the same question 
need not be submitted again.
