This common capability addresses the basic steps concerning the set-up of a VO in the VO formation phase of a typical VO lifecycle. VO Set-up addresses the steps that are done after that memberships, roles, agreements and contracts have been negotiated among the participant organisations and the VO policies have been defined.
It is worth to mention that this common capability relates also to several scenarios where parties interested in the creation of a VO do not want to deal with the complexity and dynamicity of the whole VO creation process (e.g. there can be cases in which members, contracts, agreements are a priori agreed and do not need to be negotiated) but need just functionalities to configure the basic information regarding membership, policies and the infrastructural environment of the VO.
