Under Who, spelling should be 'principal investigators' not 'principle'.
Also under Who, it would be good to ask 'Who can give permission to re-use the data?'
And it would be good to ask here 'Is there an existing license on the data, e.g. CC-BY?' as permission may not be needed.
Under What, I would also include a question about what research question the data was created or collected to answer as that provides the kind of context that helps people work out whether the data will be useful to them. You could also ask for a link to any relevant grants as that would provide useful data.
Under When, ask also what time span the data covers - this may differ greatly from the collection/creation dates, e..g you might create a dataset in 2015 that mines information about British convicts from 1788-1815
Under Where, ask whether the data has already been lodged somewhere which would make it accessible, e.g. figshare, public repository like Dryad, institutional repository.

Rather than "Who can give permission to re-use the data?" I would suggest "How may the data be re-used?" and ask for a specific licence.
Under What, "Are there any related datasets for this data?". Perhaps several datasets were collected in one project and they are related or this dataset is derived from another dataset.
Thanks, both of you! Thrilled to see such feedback so quickly! Going to be adding some of this to our Data Reuse template linked in the checklist too.
principle vs principal is just embarrassing. I guess that's what happens when I'm trying to push something out before the end of the day. (Thankfully I had it right in the template.)
Thank you both for mentioning the licensing. I've added it under "How this data may be used by others." Not sure how I left this out. I left out on the template too. Will be adding it there shortly.
Great pt @weaverbel abt span of time data covers vs collection date. Updated and will add to template, too.
Thanks for the suggestion abt related data sets @mpfl. I had it in the template but hadn't included it in the checklist to try to keep it short, I guess. I've added it under the "related publications" aspect in What.
I'm torn about adding more in *_What *_on this checklist re: why the data was created. I have it in the template for the more in-depth data reuse plan but in my life as a former assessment librarian, I try not to ask a question when I can get the info another way. I guess for this simplified checklist I'm hoping that information would be answered by the related publications question.
As for the Where data has already been lodged, I feel like that's already being covered by "Where does the data live?" Do you think it needs something more?
