Data Standards advisory committee announced
The first members of the Advisory Committee supporting Andrew Stevens as Interim Chair of the Data Standards Body have been announced.
The Advisory Committee’s role is to “provide guidance and advice to the independent Chair on the key issues involved in the development and implementation of technical standards to support consumer data sharing, starting in the banking sector”.
Following a public call for nominations, 44 submissions were received.
The aim is to ensure a broad range of sectors and expertise are represented on the Advisory Committee, with individuals from major and regional banks, fintechs and vendors, energy and telecommunications sectors, consumer and privacy groups having the opportunity to contribute.
The first appointments to the Advisory Committee are being made for 12 months, with a strong focus on banking given that it is the first sector to implement the Consumer Data Right.
The initial members of the Advisory Committee are:

The Advisory Committee will initially meet monthly, with locations varying between Melbourne, Sydney and Canberra. It will work collaboratively and openly, with minutes from meetings published on the Data Standards Body website.
Technical working groups are also being established, to focus on technical requirements associated with the development of open standards for the banking sector.
CSIRO’s Data61 is providing advisory and support services for the interim Data Standards Body for a period of three years.
