Who is responsible for selecting a message precedence?

The responsibility for selecting a message precedence primarily falls on the drafter of the message. The drafter is the individual who composes the message and is knowledgeable about the content, intent, and urgency of the communication. When creating a message, the drafter must assess its importance relative to other communications. Based on this assessment, they assign a precedence level to ensure the message is prioritized appropriately within the communication system. This allows for efficient processing and handling of messages according to their time sensitivity and relevance.

The other roles, while integral to the message dissemination process, do not make the precedence selection. The releaser is responsible for formally releasing the draft after it has been created, the addressee is the recipient of the message, and the originator may refer to anyone involved in generating the content but does not specifically dictate message precedence like the drafter does.
