In the TNP Executive server, r3n came to us offering to set up a system which automatically posts the following on a weekly basis: https://www.nationstates.net/page=dispatch/id=1013189
It notifies people who have joined that week, who read the dispatch and become involved. It's another form of outreach, along with telegrams.
I came up with this draft of a dispatch:

[size=150][color=265780]Welcome to The North Pacific![/color][/size]
Welcome to NationStates and The North Pacific (TNP)! It may seem a bit overwhelming at first, but in time you will find it to be a wonderful world that you get to be a part of! To help you reach that point, we wanted to let you in on a few tips that could really give you an engaging experience in The North Pacific. None of these, of course, are [i]required[/i], but rather recommendations that you can choose to skip if they don’t seem to fit you or do in any order you’d like. Just click the chevron ([>]) and you’ll warp right to where you want to be.
Please note that some of these steps require an account with The North Pacific’s [url=http://forum.thenorthpacific.org]forum[/url], and unfortunately it is rather difficult to skip that step and do many of the fun activities here. But it’s easy and you’ll be right on your way!
[hr]

[url=http://forum.thenorthpacific.org/forum/39572/][>][/url] [b]Introduce Yourself![/b]

[url=http://www.nationstates.net/page=un][>][/url] [b]Join the World Assembly![/b]
Having your nation in the World Assembly helps you to start building influence in the region. You should also check out our [url=https://www.nationstates.net/page=dispatch/id=338370]World Assembly Advancement Program[/url] for instructions on how to join the World Assembly, and for ideas on what to do once you are a member. You can also vote in the World Assembly or stack endorsements (endotarting) [url=http://forum.thenorthpacific.org/pages/endorse/]here![/url]

[url=http://forum.thenorthpacific.org/topic/9145375/][>][/url] [b]Join the Regional Army![/b]
Does a sedentary life bore you? Do you wish for action? Well, your region would love to hear from you; join the North Pacific Army (or NPA for short), one of the most active and longest running military forces in NationStates. It's a great way to build camaraderie with your fellow soldiers and develop a name for yourself in the region, as well as meet prominent members of other regions when out on operations.
[url=http://forum.thenorthpacific.org/forum/39612/][>][/url] [b]Get Involved in the Regional Assembly![/b]
The Regional Assembly (or RA for short) is our lay-legislative body. All citizens can participate immediately, and it’s a great way to get started in a legislative or judicial career. Even registered residents can participate to a certain extent. If you have ambitions to be Speaker of our Senate, or a future Chief Justice, participating in the RA is the perfect starting point!
