and ripe time of my At-Large journey, particularly after taking ATLAS III capacity building program and being alumni to its At-Large ambassadors.

representative of my ALAS ISOC Palestine Chapter. Since then I attended almost every APRALO monthly meeting and did convey the different APRALO/ICANN updates to my Chapter officers and its members regularly. In the same year, I initiated the first ICANN outreach
booth at the locally famous ExpTech 2015 followed by workshops at local universities.

balanced between occasional projects and community volunteerism including ICANN. Therefore, whenever I volunteer, I take my responsibilities very seriously and members of the tasks I volunteer at would observe my added-value contributions. I rendered my expertise
to different APRALO ad-hoc working groups such as the APRALO 2019 hot topics, the APRALO History Project, and the study on APRALO ICANN fellowship member's engagement. My

Nominating Committee for both NomCom 2018 and 2019, which gave me a comprehensive understanding of ICANN and how At-Large fit into ICANN multi-stakeholder structure. The trust that I got from my NomCom colleagues reflected in the 360 Peer Reviews Aggregate
Results.</span></b><o:p></o:p></p>

by getting a first-hand experience through my participation in APSIG, and now I am the treasurer on its Executive Committee. Attending APTLD 70 as a speaker and the collocated events of APTLD75 and the 6th ME DNS forum in Dubai as the ME DNS program Committee
member. Adding my attendance as a fellow and speaker the APrIGF 2019 where I volunteered in the working group for writing the well-known forum synthesis document and the revisions of the different forum guidelines.</span></b><o:p></o:p></p>
