Just out of curiosity: Why should a remote presenter provide a passport?
Whatever I say will be just a guess, how can I speak for the UAE government? My guess would be that they want to make sure that remote presenters are not using pseudonyms. What if I submit a remote presentation as Fernando Gont and start advocating inserting Ipv6 extension headers on the fly, for example? ;)))
That seems to me like a weird requirement to me, and possibly even hard to enforce (unless there's someone watching a video stream and checking if they have a copy of the passport for that person?). And, if the person is not traveling anyway, he/she might not even have a passport in the first place.
I'd expect that some other form of government-issued ID would do - but again, I'm speculating.
