If your meeting produces "notes", and those are relevant for people that were not in it, you are doing it wrong.

If your meeting is aimed at producing "general understanding", it's already a dangerous one, and the understanding should go to the correct documentation (what is best done during the meeting). Otherwise, it should produce "focused understanding" between a few people and with immediate application.

If all you take from it is notes, well, I'm really sure that your team won't go digging through meetings notes every time they need to learn about some new context. Meeting notes are useful for CYA only, and if people feel safe they'll be filled directly at /dev/null.
