It would help if you transposed the exact text of your request, because, as Howste mentioned Tim Lee's answer was not in line with the question you posed here. Further, in my estimation, this question should be posed to the IAQG document representative for the AS9101 standard, not the AS9100 document, since the issue deals with 3rd party audits, which is the realm of 9101.
The IDR for the IAQG 9101 document is Mr. Brian Geer from Lockheed Martin and his contact information is available via the IAQG website.
Furthermore, it is very possible that the IAQG might not want to make a ruling on this and want CB auditors to use their judgment, when and if crossing that bridge.
