This gets accurate identification into the online system, with the entry task distributed. I would not mind this system intensely, but bear in mind that it requires everybody to bring a mobile device of some sort that can be used to do this registration, and they will have to keep that device out and active during all meetings. If their battery dies, they can no longer participate, or will require exception handling.
