Resolves "Yes" if the timekeeping system established by NASA for the Moon's timezone is officially named "Coordinated Lunar Time (LTC)". Resolves "No" if another name is chosen for the Moon's time zone or if a different timekeeping approach is implemented.

"Coordinated Lunar Time (LTC)" has to be that exactly. If any words or letters are re-ordered (CLT, or Lunar Coordinated Time) this will resolve No.

"UTC" was specifically chosen not to be either English or French. In English it would be CUT and in French it would be TUC. To avoid suggesting a preference for one language they chose a language-agnostic acronym.

Is this idea based off any news or comments, or just playing off of UTC?

For this to resolve does it have to use the french-style LTC acronym?

@Anonculously https://www.reuters.com/science/white-house-directs-nasa-create-time-standard-moon-2024-04-02/ Earlier this month white house asked NASA to get this together. End of 2026 they hope to have a plan laid out. So yeah it's serious business.

Yes on french-style. I clarified in description. If it's not exactly this, resolves no.
