Design Paper feedback extension

We have heard the feedback on an extension of time for the Design Paper and can grant a one-week extension of time, until 5 April 2022. We are able to accommodate this extension of time given the likely timing of caretaker.

 

Design Paper

Treasury and the Data Standards Body are seeking input on the development of rules and standards to implement the Consumer Data Right in the telecommunications sector. To support consultation and elicit informal feedback on these issues, a design paper is available for stakeholders’ consideration.

We invite all participants in the Consumer Data Right to raise queries and submit their feedback below:

GitHub Consultation: https://github.com/ConsumerDataStandardsAustralia/standards/issues/235
