Yes a GC promotion can/will source readonly NCs from another GC, it does not have to go back to a DC that maintains a writeable replica. If the DC is already replicating with a DC that is also a GC, it is likely that it will start pulling the additional NCs from that GC.

Is the GC that already exists in each domain authorative in the elevation of the DC to a GC or does each DC contact a DC in the relevant domain for the GC information? Make sense?
