It doesn't look like the problem is with some countries (second
bullet) as the matching is being done on the name of the attendee
irrespective of country. The financial entity processing the payment
request would be running its own procedures. The LLC does not have
much control of that.
Having written this, I am unsure how to address this 'annoying' [1] process.
The first option is to register as an attendee to be able to ask
about the annoying process during the plenary. That is a bit like
having a person agree to the annoying process to be able to get
information about it. The second option is to provide the
information as part of the registration process. The advantage of
the second option is that the person is informed about the annoying
process before he/she is asked to give his/her permission. There may
be other options.
