I just had a quick look over the draft: it seems to me that this draft still left lots rooms for improvements, not the least is its treatment on security.  The current draft seems reflecting the common mindset that security is something one has to mention, not that security is an integral component in all aspects of a system.

Section 2: would it be more appropriate to move security from section 2.8 to section 2.2, right after naming?  given security needs crypto protection, crypto is directly related to identities

Section 4 on Advantages of using ICN for IoT has no mentioning about security.

Section 5, like section 2, puts security discussions much later after  other subjects that may be felt more familiar with, like name resolution, caching and storage, routing/forwarding, etc.--aren't al these components need security as well?
There seem also discussions on trust that seems separate from security ...

Another comment is a wish: the draft looks really abstract/motherhood-and-applepie to me, I wonder whether it would be possible to ground the description with some specific examples.

my 2 cents from a *super* quick flip through (so please take with a big grain of salt!)

We normally do this for drafts where there is a critical mass of interested people that would like to see this progressing within ICNRG and eventually be published as an (in this case, Informational)  RFC. This would also require a critical mass of people that would be interested to spend cycles for reviewing the draft and future revisions.
