The normal convention for zones that do not have a conventional
English-language initialism is to use either three letters of the city
plus "T", or the ISO 3166-2 alpha-2 code plus "T" -- so the
expectation would be that Minsk would get either "MINT" or "BYT".

I don't believe that IANA has an official position here; IANA hosts
the database but does not maintain it.
