Consider theses sentences of mine, please:

1) The meeting remains cancelled till further notice.
2) The meeting will remain cancelled till further notice.
3) The meeting is cancelled till further notice.
4) The meeting will be cancelled till further notice.

What are the differences between 1) and 2), and 3) and 4)? Is "cancelled" an adjective in all of the sentences?
 
Consider theses sentences of mine, please:

1) The meeting remains cancelled till further notice.

This implies that someone has asked whether the meeting is still cancelled.

But I wonder why "till further notice" is needed. We usually use that phrase for a continuing situation, not for single event.

Example: The store will remain closed until further notice.


2) The meeting will remain cancelled till further notice.

This means the same thing as #1. It might be slightly more grammatical.

3) The meeting is cancelled till further notice.

This is an announcement that the meeting is cancelled. But again, "till further notice" makes it confusing. Either it's cancelled or it isn't.


4) The meeting will be cancelled till further notice.

This one makes no sense.


What are the differences between 1) and 2), and 3) and 4)?

See above.

Is "cancelled" an adjective in all of the sentences?

It looks like one to me.
If you mean a series of regularly scheduled meetings, use the plural: meetings. Then "till further notice" would make more sense.
