There is no baseline written down but the minimum would be: ops (for monitoring); dteam (for your testing) and the LHC experiments your site is funded to support. For some of the security challenges supporting the gridpp VO has been useful. Outside of this GridPP has a commitment overall (specified in the GridPP4 proposal) to support additional non-LHC VO work but the specific VOs are not mandated and we do not currently enforce anything (except softly perhaps by the inclusive accounting metrics). It makes sense for sites to support VOs where there is a local interest.
The "rare" VOs you see either result from local work or interest at a site or within a Tier-2, or in some cases the site (RALPP comes to mind) simply tried to support as many VOs as it could and in these cases enabled most of the VOs specified on the GridPP approved VOs page. At some point in the future it could become necessary to ask for additional specific VOs to be supported but this would likely be funding driven.
