Re: Evaluation: draft-sun-handle-system - Handle SystemOverview (Revised with Proposed Note)

Hi,
	These are returning informational documents,
not standards track.  If you wish to use the new ballot
system to record a comment, that seems fine, but please
do not return a yes/no-ob/discuss/abstain position.  Also note
that that the following is the correct IESG note, and
the IESG note on the web agenda is wrong.
			thanks,
				Ted
