In most of the places, VOs do not own physical resources but they own a right to use them.

"It is not clear to the LOFAR VO manager what tasks are expected from a VO manager and what options/services are available to the VO manager. Is there a document providing guidelines on this? For example, how to retrieve and distribute information about (un)scheduled downtimes of relevant sites, what information to provide to new users about getting GGUS support, when should issues be communicated to EGI and when to the involved NGIs (lofar is a pan-european organisation that involves multiple NGIs), etcetera.

Frequently Asked Question
Common Operations
1) I've set up my project VO. How do I get computing resources?
In most of the places, VOs do not own physical resources but they own a right to use them. That right is earned according to the funding that sites receive from projects where VO members are involved. Therefore, sites do allocate a share of their ressources to a given VO depending on the funding they receive from local projects associated to that VO. This is the normal procedure on how newly VOs provide resources to the GRID. The GRID spirit behind is that everyone can use everybody resources as long as these resources aren't really needed.
As a conclusion, it is unlikely that a user who has no affiliation with a VO will be allowed to use this VO, since he (or his institute) has to pay one way or another for resources he will use. And even if this user is doing research on a biomedicine matter, even if there is already a biomed VO, this user won't probably be allowed to use the biomed resources.
