You would rather wait a couple weeks until staff post it and I just send the URL? I can try to do that if preferred.

NomCom processes are pretty scrupulous about such things, and indeed OB destroys the responses to the 48 questions at the end of the cycle and keeps only the names of the people involved in the interview.  Bear in mind too that OB’s work is just an additional source of input, the analysis that matters is that of the NomCom after it conducts its own interviews and deep dives etc.  Probably this input is most relevant when OB’s results paint a different picture than the committee's, in which case there’d be reason to pause and consider the discrepancy etc.
