Think I'll have to write to my bank as well, the staff in the branch don't seem to know anything about Phorm. 201 pages and over 3000 posts here - I doubt whether Phorm and the ISPs ever expected this kind of response. |

They have made many mistakes along the way and we should be grateful for that. Its quite scary to think what would have happened if they had actually got their act together and carried out their plan flawlessly. That said I really do feel we still have a huge battle on our hands. As one of the commenters on the iii site has already mentioned, the real revenue potential for Phorm is in the US market. Even if we hamstring them here in the UK we wont be able to mortally wound them unless we can defeat them in the US too. Naturally if we can defeat them here in the UK then that will be an important step to defeating them in the US too. |

I have my draft letter ready for banks/credit card companies. It's about 2 sides of A4. Is it OK to copy and past it in - I don't have somewhere to host it.

I know I keep coming back to this but I think its a really important issue. Will someone who goes to the meeting please ask some questions about these "research and debugging logs" that phorm have said they will store for 14 days.
Phorm keeps saying they store no personally identifiable information but they will be storing these logs for up to 14 days and they have not told us what information will be stored in these logs, who will have access to them, precisely where they will be stored or even what "research" may be done with the data. |

I'd still like to know why any ISPs who (are foolhardy enough to) implement Phorm will not be allowed to at least monitor if not proactively check the Phorm hardware. Unless the ISP has access to the Phorm hardware for it to be independently monitored then there's no way it can be remotely considered trustworthy.
I'd also like to know what, if any, mechanisms for independent monitoring exist and if not, why not. |

I am having a meeting with my MP this coming week about another matter (totally unrelated other than it also involves greed). I thought it would be a good opportunity to try to put together a one-page summary of where we are and what we want our legislators to do, and get her reaction in person. I may also be able to get feedback from one or more of the four MPs who were my contemporaries at university. We could then look at spreading the word further in parliament.
Can people review the page at http://www.inphormationdesk.org/legislators.htm and provide me with feedback for accuracy, clarity and impact? Thanks in advance. |

In paragraph 6 "It's being spun as a benefit" you mention CA without having referred to them by their full name beforehand. Otherwise, brilliant!

Can I respectfully request you look at starting to use Open Office instead of Microsoft Office. That way there are no interoperability issues for people wanting to use your template and you can save it as pdf. Alexander Hanff |

A few observations... ...I don't think the servers in China are confirmed for a fact, therefore, I wouldn't include that bit. I remember Phorm refuting that rumour categorically, so until positive evidence to the contrary emerges then it is just speculation. ...I would tar all the ISPs involved with the same brush. VM may be important to you, but this is likely to affect 70% of the bank's online customers which makes it a much greater concern for them. Name and shame them all. |
