You are really into something. You want a system that will block access to a resource until some process/workflow requirements are satisfied.

Too bad you can't force people to review prior meeting notes before initiating a new call or meeting.
Simple truth: technology will not fix your culture problems. The most technology can do is serve as a scapegoat for organizational policy, e.g. "the system won't let me do X" instead of "my boss won't let me do X".
If you want to change your culture, then reward positive behavior, fire sources of unapologetic cultural toxicity, and hire people who believe and profess the cultural change you seek.

I don't agree, I think the issue is that it is certain people jobs to just have meetings. They have no productive work to do, they measure there progress in number of meetings had. Business people usually.

s/Business /Sales/
If persuading people is your job; meetings are great because you have lots of real-time feedback on whether your pitch is working or not.If you put a salesperson in charge of a software team, you are; like the man says "gonna have a bad time".
No such luck with calls. Everybody wants to have calls and calls bypass documentation...so they want to have more.
I’ve always wanted a BPM system that hooks to my company calendar and automatically requests meeting notes to post from the person who called the meeting...and blocks them from requesting more meetings until those notes have been posted.
Think of it as spam filter for meetings.
