We had 7 referees respond to the poll on how to handle a situation of a defender miskicking a ball, then the defender's goalkeeper handles the ball in his own penalty area. Three of seven said to stop play and award an IFK to the other team; and four said to let play continue.
The correct action should be to stop play and award an IFK.
Read the reason in 12.20 in Advice to Referees. It's linked on the right of the page. Primary considerations are the player "kicked the ball" rather than the ball just glancing off him from another player's action; the GK picked up the ball in the PA.
Thanks to all who took the poll.
