I was wondering that too. I guess one problem with multiple monitoring
stations would be difficulty in combining their results. Will they be
managed by trusted people or random volunteers? How many are needed?
I suspect simple voting would not work well with servers that are
reachable only in their country zones (e.g. China).

I was thinking maybe the NTP servers themselves could be monitoring a
random selection of servers from the local and neighbouring country
zones. A script could be used to periodically upload the reachability,
offset and other data from the NTP daemon to some location created for
each NTP pool account. The question is how should be reports from
different servers combined.
