I've spent a lot of my time on Balmung trying to connect with and meet new RPers: its one of the main reasons for the barmaid RP that I do on Aya. But there's only so much one person can do, and in the end I don't think you can ever fully remove the onus being on new players, that's just how it is when it comes to meeting people.
The more welcoming people we have willing to seek out, PM, contact in game, and chat with new people, the better; but I have a hard time believing that you can craft organization around the theme (with all of the constraints of real life, limited playing time, PvE, and the time consumed by existing relationships and commitments) that actually does much to improve the situation. If anything you're likely to just eat up time and energy that could have been spent on actually talking to new people instead.
I'd really just encourage people to do it, rather than talk about it.
