Alternate text:IESG Note: IETF have discussed the Handle system in the realm of URI related working groups. IESG want to point out that there is not IETF consensus on the current design of the Handle system, and where it fits in the IETF architecture. IESG is of the view that that the Handle system should be able to, with very small changes, fit in the IETF architecture as a URN namespace (see RFC's 2276, 3305 and 3406).
