How it works

Who has the wish, and who acts? The organizer wants the participants to be punctual. The wish belongs to the speaker.
Use 「人に」 to show who you want to act. This can be the listener or a third person.
Put the verb in its て-form, then add 「欲しい」. For example, 「守る」 becomes 「守って欲しい」.
Said directly to someone, it can also express a request. It sounds fairly direct, so consider your relationship.
In the example, 「には」 adds 「は」 after 「に」, highlighting the participants whom the speaker wants to be punctual.
