<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="EN-US">> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="EN-US">> After Dubai had already been chosen as the location for the upcoming RIPE meeting, the authorities there (DTCM) have started to enforce some rules for conferences and speakers. All speakers (including remote speakers)
will need to email the following information to </span><a href="mailto:meeting@ripe.net"><span lang="EN-US">meeting@ripe.net</span></a><span lang="EN-US"> before 15 September 2017):<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="EN-US">> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="EN-US">> - Full name, title<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="EN-US">> - A colour copy of their passport<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="EN-US">> - A copy of their Emirates ID (if a UAE resident)<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="EN-US">> - Profile/bio for the speaker (at least 200 characters)<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="EN-US">> - Mobile number<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="EN-US">> - Email address<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="EN-US">> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="EN-US">> This information will then be forwarded to the DTCM by the RIPE NCC.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="EN-US">> We realise that these requirements go beyond what was expected at previous meetings and that they may be a cause for concern for some people - especially the sharing of colour copies of passports. Unfortunately there
is nothing we can do about this - we have to comply with local laws. If you do not wish to comply with these requirements then you will not be allowed to present on stage. You will still be able to join the discussions from the floor.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="EN-US">> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="EN-US">> [1] "Speakers" includes anyone who is presenting on stage - presenters, WG Chairs, and community members who are chairing or moderating sessions. This also includes policy proposers who are planning to present their
policy. Attendees speaking at the microphones during the Q&A are explicitly not considered as speakers.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="EN-US">The RIPE NCC has negotiated with the authorities in Dubai, and has some good news for us. It is now confirmed that a photocopy of speakers' passports is *not* required. Residents of the UAE are still required to upload
a copy of their Emirates ID (in jpeg format).<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="EN-US">The information on </span><a href="https://ripe75.ripe.net/attend/dtcm-requirements/"><span lang="EN-US">https://ripe75.ripe.net/attend/dtcm-requirements/</span></a><span lang="EN-US"> has been updated. All attendees,
and especially speakers, should take a look at that page to avoid surprises.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="EN-US">Speakers will be asked to upload the above data via a secure webform provided by the RIPE NCC, who will then pass it on to the DTCM. The data will be permanently deleted from the RIPE NCC<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="EN-US">infrastructure one week after the RIPE 75 Meeting.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
