It has been my first assumption that this was the Association of anyone who does Internet Research. If it became the Association of Professional and/or Scholarly Internet Researchers, that would be a significant development worthy of noting and questioning. Seth Ellis Godard wrote:

What other associations draw from such disparate goals and agendas? And what, if anything, do they accomplish?
If "research" is something done by humanists and artists, as well as scientists and practitioners, is there anyone who isn't a researcher? Is this, in essense, the Association of Internet Anythingers?
