Download this press release as an Adobe PDF document.

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.

Los Alamos, NM, USA (PRWEB) September 18, 2007 -- 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.

We expect the site to be boycotted by Tehran, but sufficient proxy channels exist that blocking it altogether won't work, furthermore, we'll respond to any attacks from Iran's government on our sites in a legal manner. We may be about Freedom and Tolerance, but we're intolerant of any Foreign Government who tries to interfere with us.
FOR THE PUBLIC: Membership for Iranians in ACSA will include all present member services and benefits, as well as a free ACSA email address, and recognition for attendance at ACSA's online university of the web, Computer U™.

Jane Scheinlicht, webmaster for the ACSA added: "We expect the site to be boycotted by Tehran, but sufficient proxy channels exist that blocking it altogether won't work, furthermore, we'll respond to any attacks from Iran's government on our sites in a legal manner.
