The right way to implement telemetry:
- It’s off by default (opt-in). To increase visibility of this option, it’s OK to ask the user via popup, during setup, or similar, whether he would like to turn it on
- Once it’s on, the user should be informed BEFORE each upload takes place about the exact content which should be uploaded, and asked whether he wants to send it (Y/N)
- Transmission must only contain truly necessary data
- Transmission must be encrypted

I agree with everything, except the second point. If I already opted-in I don’t want to be prompted every time that telemetry is uploaded. I wouldn’t mind a notification informing me that telemetry has been sent while also allowing me to review it.
Also, it almost goes without saying that I should also be able to opt-out at any time, even after explicitly opting-in.

Currently the nays have it at 2/3 of the vote, but there’s only 15 votes. Only time will tell how it turns out.
