Arguably, the main goal of Grid Computing is to facilitatethe creation of Virtual Organizations (VOs); however, todate, not enough attention has been placed on the policiesand mechanisms by which these VOs will operate. Thecore of the VO--roughly, the responsibility of eachPhysical Organization (PO) in the VO to contribute andnot unjustly consume resources in achieving the overallgoal of the VO--is at best service-level agreements(SLAs) that lack a concrete connection to the underlyingGrid software and at worst an implicit "in-spirit"agreement. Unfulfilled expectations and obligations onthe part of each PO can have dire consequences and canultimately lead to the demise of the VO itself. This paperidentifies three general policies regarding resourceutilization by which VOs might operate and presents theramifications of each policy on the VO's day-to-dayoperations and the VO's ability to actually enforce thepolicy. A prototype implementation of a VO with the"you-get-what-you-give" policy is the basis of a concretecost/benefit analysis of policy enforcement for this typeof VO.
