Thanks a lot for your inputs! I rendered it يتمتع بقدرة على الحشد and its inflections
Samaa Zeitoun Jan 30, 2014:
It's because I didn't translate the main term, only the secondary context. Perhaps الحاشد ? It sounds awkward!
Saleh Dardeer (asker) Jan 30, 2014:
BTW, Ms. Samaa I wonder why you did not post this as an answer. Could you post it please?
Saleh Dardeer (asker) Jan 29, 2014:
Thanks a lot for confirmation! It gives me pleasure that I rendered it in the same way, wishing to find a good equivalent for "convener"
Samaa Zeitoun Jan 29, 2014:

I suggest القدرة على الحشد for convening power, based on the link. But for convener itself, I'm still thinking :).
Saleh Dardeer (asker) Jan 29, 2014:
supported answers by references, examples, etc. are highly appreciated

Thanks a lot, dear Maher! I came across this translation before; however, so far it does not adequately fit various contexts because the connotations of the word داعي in Arabic. I also have "global convener" in the same file. Anyway, I am still considering all possibilities
