The OpenInfra login seems to be asking for a rather wild number of permissions:

"
Allow access to your profile info.
Allow access to your email info.
Allow access to your address info.
Use Openid Connect Protocol
Allow to emit refresh tokens (offline access without user presence).
Read our own member profile and personal information
Allow write my speaker profile data
Read access to my speaker profile
Allow to read organization data
Allow to write organization data
Get My Member Info
Allow to write my member information
Add events to your schedule
Remove events from your schedule
Create Shareable schedule
Delete shareable schedule
Allow access to write your Profile.
Allow to nominate candidates
Allows to write my candidate profile
"

Isn't that excessive?

Best wishes - Nell

Hello Stackers,

Election season is here, and we want to ensure every voice that helps
build OpenStack is heard. I would like you to take a moment to verify
your "Active Contributor" [1] and OpenInfra Foundation membership
status so you don't miss your chance to vote.

To receive a ballot for the OpenStack TC elections, you must be a
contributor to OpenStack repositories _and_ hold the status of "OIF
Individual Member." To receive a ballot for a PTL election, you must
have contributed to any of a project team's repositories _and_ hold
the status of "OIF Individual Member."

Check your membership level:
========================

Log in to your profile at https://openinfra.org/a/profile.

Even if you’ve been a member for years, the OpenInfra Foundation (OIF)
has a policy that automatically downgrades memberships to "OIF
Community Member" if you haven't voted in recent Governing Board
elections [2]. Upon logging in, if you see that you are an "OIF
Community Member," you can restore your "OIF Individual Member" status
on that profile page.


Get recognized as an "Active Contributor":
================================

While our policy traditionally focuses on contributors to OpenStack's
git repositories, we know that impactful work happens far beyond just
code and documentation. We definitely value the "intangible" work that
keeps this community running.

If you haven’t contributed code or documentation to a repository
during the 2025.2–2026.1 timeframe (March 14, 2025 – February 18,
2026), you can still vote! Please reach out to the PTL or DPL liaison
of the project team you’ve supported and request to be added as an
"Extra AC" (Extra Active Contributor) today [3]. The deadline to do
this is February 13, 2026.

If you run into issues or have questions about your eligibility, the
TC would be happy to help. Simply reply to this thread, or chime in on
OFTC's #openstack-tc IRC channel.

Thanks,
Goutham Pacha Ravi (gouthamr)
