The course blog for Digital Preservation a course at the University of Maryland College Park. One of the explicit goals of this course is for us to develop as communicators on the public web.

It would be great to add in some additional notes on the Dublin Core point (3.1), that is some requirements (ex, every item must include at last three fields, Title, Crator, Date) or something like that. Whatever makes the most sense for them as it would make it a little more specific.

That would be rather useful as a way of both having those extra copies under their control and for ensuring that they have a solid exit strategy if/when they need to move to some future system.
