advisory
Formal notice given
Advisory describes something that provides advice or recommendations rather than binding decisions: an advisory committee, an advisory opinion, an advisory role.
As a noun, an advisory is a bulletin warning of potentially hazardous conditions: a weather advisory, a travel advisory, a health advisory.
The distinction matters—advisory panels recommend while governing bodies decide.
