In my career I've seen many variations of the requirements gathering process. I've lead this phase mainly due to lack of resources. In some cases I've had business analysts or the project manager lead the requirements phase and utilizes an IA or tech lead to validate the information gathered.
Depending on the scope of the project it would be difficult for designer to handle requirements alone. If the complexity of the site or application is relatively small probably. However, on large corporate portals, enterprise applications or Ecommerce type applications where there are numerous usability, content, design and technological variables, requirements gathering would be better suited to BA's with the right domain knowledge and experience supported by resources such as CDs, IAs and TLs.
