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. -- These are my opinions.
