This all sounds doable, but it will take some work ;)

I think you should probably use a tag of :MEETINGNOTE: here, instead of
a TODO keyword like this. TODO keywords imply to me some kind of
changeable state not a type of content. Alteratively you could make it a
property.
with your curson on the headline, type C-c C-c and enter MEETINGNOTE to
add the tag.

PERSON should also be a tag, or look at org-contacts, where those bits
in the body would be stored as properties.

You should use org dates like [2015-07-01] which will make them
clickable. I think INFO here should be a tag too.

This is not totally possible, org-mode does not know how to make "John
Doe" clickable unless you make a special link. but see: http://kitchingroup.cheme.cmu.edu/blog/2015/06/22/Clickable-org-contacts-in-text-files/

See org-contacts. i integrated something like this into helm:
http://kitchingroup.cheme.cmu.edu/blog/2015/03/14/A-helm-mu4e-contact-selector/
which I use all the time.

C-c C-x a will archive a headline. you can only archive headlines, not
pieces of text.

This sounds pretty doable with tag/property searches.
