I think the only real reference we have to the ICO lamb is in Mr Mainwarings letter, as referenced from the register article.

I assume that the EU Commission would also have an interest in the repeated obstruction of any attempt to get a RIPA investigation started. Links for that abound.

One question for the thread in general. Should we not send notice of our feelings about this via snail-mail?

A pile of letters has a physical presence and may have more impact, especially if it's a big one.

EDIT: ICO also needed 3 stabs at a document before even confirming it must be opt-in.

Related reg article.

This will need a lot of thinking about. Without the scrutiny/opposition of the public, phorm would now be running 'transparently' and opt-out. None of the UK authorities have done their job.
