Sigh.  Semantic quibbling again.  In legal terms you have publication
periods.  Getting a DBA require publishing notice in an approved daily
newspaper for, in my case, 3 weeks.  This is referred to as a "3 week
publication period." "Publication period" is a perfectly meaningful
andcommonly used term. 

In the case at hand, a 60 day publication period could mean, for
example, that it appeared on a particular web site for 60 days 
continuously, and then was removed.  This web site would be 
designated by CORE or IAHC or whatever authority as appropriate as 
*the* publication site, just as the legal system designates certain 
newspapers as newspapers of record.

Whether the legal system would accept the 60 day publication period 
as significant is an open question.  It *does* consider the 3 week 
publication period significant for the case of getting a DBA here in 
Alameda County.  It is also an open question whether the legal system 
would attach any weight on a 60 day *waiting* period.
