    What does NTM mean?

    one of these?
    NTM New Tribes Mission
    NTM Notice to Members (NASD)
    NTM Nontuberculous Mycobacteria
    NTM Not To Mention
    NTM Non-Tariff Measures
    NTM National Technical Means (formerly National Assets)
    NTM Notice To Mariners
    NTM Nique Ta Mère
    NTM Not Too Much
    NTM Network Traffic Management
    NTM Notice To Move (DoD)
    NTM Next Twelve Months (financial/banking industry)
    NTM Non-Deterministic Turing Machine (Informatics)
    NTM Net Ton Mile
    NTM Non-Transparent Mode
    NTM Network Transaction Management (Sprint)
    NTM No Truncate Mode (Cisco)
    NTM Networking Territory Manager (Intel)
    NTM No Target Model
    NTM Non-Tactical Message
    NTM Non Tobacco Material
    NTM Naval Technical Means
    NTM Nytron Microsystems

    Not too much or not to mention seem the most likely but I've seen it used in cases where they make no sense
