APRALO

Recent consensus on the support for the names of the proposed APRALO Leadership Team (AP-LT) members, including Ali Al Meshal, were gained during APRALO monthly teleconference meeting, which took place last May and was further confirmed and supported by a full Regional Consensus (on-line and mailing list consensus call) whose results were approved and actioned on 23rd June, 2014.

In addition to being an active member of APRALO, Al Meshal plays a dynamic role in ICANN and has been involved in most of its related essential meetings and activities since 2012, mainly as member of the "Middle East Strategy Working Group" that was established by ICANN to study the region's needs and find means to actively involve the Arab and Middle Eastern countries in the discussion, dissemination and development of internet related topics and areas of interest with emphasis on a unified internet strategy and governance.

Apralo stems from the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) and is one of the five Regional At-Large Organisations, each composed of members of the At-Large community located in that geographic region.

Mr Al Meshal was selected by regional consensus for his active role in Apralo.
