Commend Nation of Quebec

I'm not as familiar with the ins and outs of TNP FA stuff, so for SC resolutions, I'll probably be posting here (or pinging on Discord/IRC) to make sure that there's not an obvious "TNP has to oppose/support because" reason that I'm unaware of.

This one seems like a likely "support," but feedback is welcome if there's some history I'm unaware of. I'll be posting the voting thread shortly. It'll be at vote at Thursday's Minor Update.

See the proposal here or in the eventual thread in the other WA area.
 
I like the approach the author took to commending the issue editing. There are no issues with that nations specifically from what I recall, if it were "Commend Capitalist Paradise" that may be a different story :p But I think you're good on this one.
 
Thanks, McM. :)

Here's a draft of what I'm planning to send out via telegram for the Information for WA Voters. I'm also going to punch this into the voting thread as the MoWAA recommendation shortly.

Rationale: Nation of Quebec has authored, as of this writing, 18 issues that are distributed to individual nations to allow them to make an impact on the future actions of their national leader and government. There used to be many complaints of repeating issues from nations who were faced with the same dilemma on a near-weekly basis, but the efforts of Nation of Quebec have allowed the Issue Editors to continue to expand the issues base and the variety of dilemmas that can be posed to each individual government. This makes Nation of Quebec a prime candidate for a Commendation, as their work has made each nation a bit more interesting and unique, fostering excellence in the international community.

For all these reasons, we recommend a vote in favor of this proposal.

It's early - and I've got to jet off to work shortly - so the TG itself won't be sent out until later tonight sometime. (r3n did give me access to the TNP API tool yesterday, however)

Edits and suggestions are welcome, especially if I have an embarrassing typo. >_>
 
In terms of formatting? We do something similar in Euro (at r3n's suggestion, unsurprisingly), so I'll probably use a similar telegram for both - obviously changing some details where needed for each region.

Additionally, we've found that spoilers within telegrams often tend to improve responsiveness of the recipients since the telegram doesn't appear as overwhelming at first glance. I'm putting together some dinner, and then I'll get that draft code up shortly. :)

Help Wanted in the Ministry of World Assembly Affairs!
As I've just recently been named Minister of World Assembly Affairs, I'm looking to put together a staff of amazing players - like you! - to help me coordinate everything we have going on in the Ministry. I'm looking for players that want to learn more about the World Assembly and maybe even prepare you for writing a resolution of your own someday! Additionally, getting involved on Ministry Staff is a great way to get more involved in The North Pacific community.

If you're interested in getting involved, please either send me a PM on the forums (my username is mousebumples ) or contact this nation ([nation=short]Mousepony[/nation]) by telegram.

I look forward to hearing from you soon!

I edited details, obviously, and I also changed a few things. I removed the "contact me to unsubscribe" bit since that is another "thing" that r3n would need to keep track of probably, and it's easily manageable from Telegram Settings. I can add in a link to that if we think it would be useful.

I'm not sure on the "Help Wanted" section, since I'm new to how TNP runs this sort of thing, but in general comments and critiques are welcome. I'm planning to get this out later tonight, within a few hours.
 
I'm sure I'll tweak it some over the course of the term, but I've gotten a few responses already, so that's a Good Thing. :)
