2019 User Fee and User Agreement Consultations

2019 User Fees, 2019 User Agreement and related Policies

Following two rounds of industry consultation and a subsequent review period for the proposed language amendments to the 2019 legal documentation, the 2019 DSB Access and Usage Agreement and Policies have been finalised.

The changes are a result of updating content that was specific to the 2017-18 contract period, editorial corrections and incorporation of industry feedback that has been received over the last 12 months, including the 2019 consultation process. The recent industry consultations (see below) included feedback specific to the 2019 fee model, functionality, service levels, service availability, user categories and user agreement.

The changes to the DSB Access and Usage Agreement and Policies will become effective 1st January 2019.

Second Consultation
