This revised FLIC specification should also be of considerable interest 
to the NDN community. Please help out with reviewing this - comments 
should go to the ICNRG list, but if you’re not an ICNRG participant 
and want to post elsewhere, I’ll make sure reviews make it to the 
authors.

> The authors have finally gotten around to updating the FLIC draft, 
> after multiple rounds of work over an extended period. This is not 
> final by any means, and there are a number of notes in the draft on 
> material that needs to be added and further refined before we are 
> ready for last call. However, given that this has quite a few changes 
> and re-written sections, we would appreciate a thorough review by the 
> RG participants, as FLIC is a major piece of data structure work that 
> has wide applicability to ICN applications.
>
> Among the important changes are:
>
> - Completely re-done encryption section with two fully-worked-out 
> encryption encapsulations for different usage models
> - Redesign of how FLIC is integrated into namespace schemas, with the 
> notion of “namespaces” in the old drafty replaced with a new way 
> of describing this though “name constructors”
> - Extensibility scheme defined, with two kinds of extensions 
> supported:
>     - Manifest metadata extensions
>     - pointer annotation extensions
> - New security considerations section which also addresses privacy
> - Re-worked introduction that decouples better from the i-node 
> historical analogy (while retaining it to help folks coming at FLIC 
> for the first time), and portions FLIc in terms of its experimental 
> value in ICN research.
>
> We would appreciate all review comments, and especially text 
> suggestions for the places that still need to be fleshed out more.

>> Abstract:
>>    This document describes a simple "index table" data structure and 
>> its
>>    associated ICN data objects for organizing a set of primitive ICN
>>    data objects into a large, File-Like ICN Collection (FLIC).  At 
>> the
>>    core of this collection is a _manifest_ which acts as the
>>    collection's root node.  The manifest contains an index table with
>>    pointers, each pointer being a hash value pointing to either a 
>> final
>>    data block or another index table node.
