CEI/ACN Working Group on Mirror Services
Final Report

http://www.jisc.ac.uk/pub98/mirrors.html
This doesn't seem to have been publicised, but I'm sure other list members are
interested.
'We recommend that CEI invites proposals for a national enhanced mirroring
service. This service could be operated by a consortium, but should appear as
a coherent service to its users. Its enhanced role should include
providing a starting point for access to other JANET mirrors, promoting mirror
use, offering some support for mirror users, giving advice to sites
establishing volunteer mirrors, and using traffic data to look out for other
desirable mirrors.
We also recommend that a small budget be allocated for pump-priming volunteer
mirrors in the community, on condition that they are properly registered and
accessible via the central service, and make themselves available
to the whole JANET community.'
