<p dir="auto">ICNRG folks,</p>
<p dir="auto">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.</p>
<p dir="auto">Among the important changes are:</p>
<ul>
<li>Completely re-done encryption section with two fully-worked-out encryption encapsulations for different usage models</li>
<li>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”</li>
<li>Extensibility scheme defined, with two kinds of extensions supported:
<ul>
<li>Manifest metadata extensions</li>
<li>pointer annotation extensions</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>New security considerations section which also addresses privacy</li>
<li>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.</li>
</ul>
<p dir="auto">We would appreciate all review comments, and especially text suggestions for the places that still need to be fleshed out more.</p>
<p dir="auto">Best Regards,<br>
Dave Oran (for the FLIC authors)</p>

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