[SL] TSL Y.A.M. holds first meeting

Below are details on the first meeting with teens to get their feedback on our plans for the TSL Y.A.M. Teen Seal of Approval.

Global Kids and Eye4You alliance, along with In Kenzo, have been meeting to think about how to codify the proper role of adults in the teen grid. The Youth Advocate Manifesto is a document that we will create with teens to address and define this. Today was our first meeting with teens to get their feedback on the idea. All agreed that it was an issue teens in TSL should be concerned with, that a document created by teens and adults would be a good start, and that a good way to enforce it would be to create a teen-run Seal of Approval process - the YAM Seal of Approval.

Feedback from the teens was excellent, the majority from the Global Kids in-world internship program. Our next step will be to draft a document and post, as a wiki, for teen residents to help shape and comment upon.
