I wouldn't put the current format requirements there (because they may - and in fact hopefully will - change in the near future). And shouldn't this include that data must be associated with a publication, since that's not really up for debate?

Add explicitly that data are embargoed until publication of the associated article? Also, your formulation suggests that there are also data that don't accompany a publication. Are there indeed? (I thought not.)

Does that mean CC0 or something else? Can we be explicit here?
