A number of other chapters have already opted out. I would be very
surprised if WMUK didn't, although I'm still unconvinced that opting
out will actually do anything...

It'd delight me to see all chapters plus the WMF ensure they're
opted out, just to say 'no' to cooperating with a surveillence
scheme for advertising. I'd also say a release was needed on the
issue.
Anyone from chapcom here who wants to chip in and say how the
others would go? even if purely symbolic, I'd even opt out
wikipedia.de - and then hit the press with it. if all the WMF sites
opt out too then that is newsworthy enough for a press release.

When the Board discussed it last we said we'd
wait until WMF
decided - but
the feeling was in favour of opting out.
I've added it to
http://uk.wikimedia.org/wiki/Meetings/2009-05-05/ Agenda
Let me know if you think it needs to be dealt
with before then.
I'd say ask internal-l :-)
