He has assured me he will try and complete the PIA during his very limited time back in the UK.
However, as I have said several times now, it doesn't really matter when the PIA is completed it is very unlikely Phorm will be publishing it for public release.

The fact that the PIA has not been completed/published causes to me speculate on several possibilities.
I'm quite sure that Phorm originally intended to publish before the BT trials began. That it appears Phorm are not pressurising him to complete the full PIA could indicate that the trials are still some way off.
Given how Phorm selectively quoted from the interim PIA, if they've seen a draft and there was any scrap of comfort in it I'm sure they'd be pushing for completion so that they could selectively quote again (even if the full PIA never appeared publicly).
It could be that Simon has imposed a condition that if Phorm are to quote from it the full text must be published. If that's the case I'd bet any money that the PIA will never see the light of day.
It could be Simon has actually completed the PIA, but that it was so unfavourable the the client (Phorm) has instructed Simon to not reveal that it has been completed.
All in all, I cannot see any way in which the non-completion and publication of the full PIA is a good thing for Phorm. To that end I think we should keep reminding people that a full PIA was promised and it hasn't appeared. It is Phorm that should be asked where it is, not Simon - the business relationship between Simon and Phorm is a private matter for them alone.
