Thanks for working on this. It would be helpful if you could add in a category which speaks to the level and type of curation provided by the agency listed. Not all of the organizations listed actually aim to guarantee that items stored are also curated to ensure usability in new technologies, changed operating systems, or new versions of software. You might consider which of the organizations listed would qualify for the Data Seal of Approval http://www.datasealofapproval.org/ or which are TRAC certified. In making recommendations to researchers on where to deposit their data, it would be helpful to provide guidance on the choices available.
