Follow-up actions are a common output of meetings. Action instances may be associated with individual meetings or
where available, the associated Agenda.

## Note

A Note is used to capture useful information such as outcomes of discussions, talking points and anything else
not specifically actionable. Notes may be associated with Meetings or Agenda, and can also exist independently.

## Appointment

An Appointment is similar to a Meeting but is more of an open invitation to recipients. It is used to publish
events to either a broad or narrow audience, and specifically doesn't cater for RSVPs or Attendance tracking.
An Appointment may still have an associated Agenda for planning, but typically wouldn't include follow-up Actions.

## Observance

An Observance is like an Appointment but does not block any time. It is more informative to recipients as a reminder
of important dates and times to be observed.
