The question is how many users are there.  If there are only a few, then they 
should all just download the official IERS version or one of the clones.

If there are enough users so that the downloads would be a serious load, then 
a lightweight protocol like NTP makes sense.  But NTP isn't very accurate 
unless there is a good network connection which usually means close 
geographically.  Thus, if you want good UT1, you either need lots of servers 
so most users can find one nearby or we need a new protocol that just 
distributes the offset.
