In the real world, quiet periods refer to when a company needs to be careful and only disclose information in proper channels to avoid selective disclosure.

The SEC mandated version is when a company has an active public offering and any material information must be disclosed in the proxy document.

The informal version is when a company has significant material information (such as earnings) so stops talking privately with analysts. Any news must be disclosed by proper public channels.

A silent period does not preclude a company from disclosing information in proper channels. Look at any large public company and they continue to PR material information even while earning are about to be releasd.

NWBO, OTOH, refuses to disclose information via proper channels while continuing to leak info via side channels and the bat phone.
