Has James sent a Phorm opt-out email for wikimedia.org.uk yet? I ask because wm.de and wm.fr have just opted out too.
The canonical web address is now http://uk.wikimedia.org , but opting out provides a nice public message. For publicity purposes, I'd suggest the Board agree it should be opted out and James send the actual message (since he's still registered contact).

Assuming all goes well, I'm about not to be (at least for wikimedia.co.uk; if that works, we'll do .org.uk immediately thereafter). Not sure about timings etc.
Happy to undertake any action which the Board requests of me, of course. :-)

Oh yes, any and all!

I'm thinking of the publicity utility of the phrase "The Board of Wikimedia UK unanimously voted that wikimedia.org.uk and wikimedia.co.uk should be opted out of Phorm, and a request has been sent to this effect."

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.
