This is often true, but I suggest, not always. For example, in a typical IT
situation, the customer team and the programer team are quite often from
separate organizations. In that case, it seems prudent to consider having
the programmer team doing their own communication to their leadership (and
of course everyone copied on everything).

Is it not?
