 Finally, before delving into the futures, mission, values and a range of experiments, projects and activities, it might be helpful to remind ourselves of the CGF’s goal for Marine CoLAB: **To communicate the role of the ocean for human wellbeing (particularly connecting natural sciences and economy).**.

+  * (cross reference with Sandy's notes)
+  * ideas that have surfaced / developed
+    * challenge; how/when to engage the pubic to change rules / process
+    * concluded that the first experiment was not so game focused, perhaps more suitable as a training tool
+    * perhaps better to focus on more general 'ocean awareness'
+    * two main options
+      * "we're close to a tipping point on ocean experience games, imagery is swamped in action games"
+      * influence exiting game devs or filmmakers / ocean 'consultants' / best practice guide
+    * current strands
+      * coached lab space to develop game(s) and/or app(s)
+      * develop add ons to existing games
+      * develop games as tie ins to other games/films/etc
+        * BBC docos, google ocean, natgeo, etc
+      * mainstream marine conservation game (cf. beyond (..?) rising tide - maxis?)
+    * games can also be used as fund-raising vehicles
+    * simple experiments to test ides -> scale
+    * possible direction
+       -> sim city like versions of initial scenarios (workshop 1)
+  * three existing options for progress / requiring feedback
+    * small lab games (c.f fish hackathon)
+      * advantage; existing format, easier to test assumptions with small games, process based learning
+      * disadvantage; does a game actually 'work' as a way to develop connections to the oceans?,
+         hackathon outcomes can be lacklustre. potentially limited impact.
+    * full on game
+      * advantage; AR tech becoming cheaper & easier to create, existing research from BBC on AR in education,
+         potentially wide audience, amplification.
+      * disadvantage; high expectations, cost of development, educational games are usually boring, competitive
+      * questions; target audience? SIM-MPA?
+    * marine game/film leadership
+      * advantage; might be scope for a 'think tank' with more general (less issue/agenda based) consulting,
+         good time for BBC Oceans, influence through others. how to maintain contact with influencers
+      * disadvantage; 'Nemo effect' (clown fish), Disney often difficult to work with, span of control is extended,
+         possible dilution.
+  * ZSL project, virtual Chagos, funding during 2016. British, controversial, inaccessible.
+  * interest
+    * giles, testing assumptions, experiments
+    * heather, perhaps as a masters project for students {Exeter uni, Chagos project)
+    * mirella, perhaps more preliminary research to see which option is most promising
+    * MSC, existing contacts (octonauts) potential test audience.
+  * next steps;
+    * potential research questions, masters topics.
+    * sandy, sue & heather draft a few paragraphs re. research scope etc. "next week"
+====Plastics project====
+{{>http://www.flickr.com/photos/foam/22963277999/}}\\
+  * successful funding proposal
+    * mayoral election in may 2016
+    * focus as a marine project rather than just about 'rubbish'
+    * "fountains for the future" project link, roll out in summer 2016
+    * closer look at what has failed, expected backlash, sustainability, strategy
+    * required; project implementation plan, timeline, external deadlines. kickoff meeting (before xmas)
+    * collaborative structure;
+      * 2 ppl full time - project mgmt at ZSL (via Project Oceans), narrative & communication TEP
+      * FF interns & some staff for research & background, active mapping process
+      * governance? overview committee, advisory group
+      * connections with existing NGOs working in 'plastics space'
+      * Emma Cunningham re. stakeholder interviews, industry, NGOs, etc
+      * how to ensure 'best advice' is maintained, front of house role?
+    * strategy for mayoral candidates
+    * establish list of allies, existing contacts and relevant conversations, meetings required.
+    * any upcoming 'big things' to connect to (world cup, etc) esp. positioning for London?
+    * start compling hideous facts about single use bottles
+    * potential case studies (selfridges, ZSL, etc)
+    * how do we explicitly test values based research?
+====Planning 2016====
+  * 10 days of time is covered per organisation
+  * how best to structure the time?
+  * smaller, structured meetings around particular topics/projects
+  * aggregating projects (mapping), specific project (plastics)
+  * discuss learning which emerges from projects
+  * what can we teach each other
+  * sometime for thinking about wider issues, larger context, incubation of vague ideas.
+  * time to proactively communicate,
+  * better integration of partners into project proposals -> more explicit collaborations
+  * clarify evidence base for the lab, both process and projects
+  * collaboration as an improvement over competition for limited resources
+  * how can new/other partners get involved in the future?
+  * more focus on strategy, strategy work team, external communication
+  * 4~6 days of meetings of entire group
+  * (cf. global strategy for sharks)
+  * added value of open thinking space, facilitated structure
+  * further work required on values, strategy, project updates, planning, evaluation.
+  * circulate set of objectives, further ideas
+  * what does a lab community look like?
+  * strategy for engagement?
+  * clear criteria for 'a lab project'?
+====Next Steps====
+  * project mapping
+    * write up value space for each project -> further mapping
+    * Aniol to compile & reformat existing info by end of the week
+    * edits, additions and value prompt to be submitted by Dec. 4th
+  * Game On!
+    * potential research questions, masters topics.
+    * Sandy, Sue & Heather draft a few paragraphs re. research scope etc. "next week"
+  * Plastics
+    * schedule next meetings, brainstorming, etc
+    * project implementation plan, timeline, external deadlines. kickoff meeting (before xmas)
+    * establish list of existing contacts and relevant conversations, meetings required.
+  * 2016 and further
+    * write a few paragraphs about how Marine CoLab has changed/improved current work
+    * circulate set of objectives, further ideas
+  * each participant to write a one page year in review by xmas -> send to louisa
