In 1970, the United Kingdom Computer Board commissioned Professor Mike Wells to lead the working parties to write a report about the situation of networking between the educational institutions in the country known as the Wells Report. In his report, Prof. Mike Wells made two recommendations. First, to create a national research network that would link the university computing centers. Second, the Computer Board should establish a small, full-time unit to coordinate and guide the organizations that are principal recipients of funds from the Department of Education and Science that are involved in the development of the network.
