Frederic, I think we should coordinate things within the UK. The Tier1 (and EGEE ROC) is providing support for UK sites and you all have a Tier2 coordinator. Can I suggest:- a) you, or some other UK Atlas person, prioritise a hit list of UK sites you would like included. Steve Lloyd has a table of which sites wish to support which experiments and at what level - I think it was shown at GridPP11. The T2 coordinators can then give you feedback on their status. b) get them registered in the main LCG BDII through the Tier1, not just the Atlas one. I think almost all sites are in LCG now so the issue is the level of their resources deployed. This affects their ability to contribute to your DCs. c) Some UK Atlas person should take responsibity for getting the Atlas software installed. A non-UK person is not so motivated. A FAQ on the GridPP web would be good.
