ACSA's newly announced Iranian citizen membership program will allow Iranian citizens to join the American Computer Science Association Inc. by internet access, where they can learn more about personal computing and the internet, share discussions with North American, South American, Far Eastern and European "web pals" and work towards gaining free self expression and freedom for their homeland. Though led by a government deeply embroiled in the Iraqi and Afghanistan conflicts, citizens of Iran have shown remarkable courage in reaching out to the rest of the world. ACSA is reaching back.

The American Computer Science Association Inc. announced that effective immediately it would be accepting membership applications from citizens of Iran "interested in computer science and freedom". The Membership Services unit at ACSA indicated that the current membership of ACSA had voted unanimously to extend membership to all Iranian civilians at no charge.
