Right. If you are thinking in terms of an educational document, I'm not sure sure we have one yet. But draft-iab-rfc-editor describes the different RFC streams (IETF, IRTF, independent, ...) and points to related process documents, see its Section 5. > and this is not it.

Draft-iesg-sponsoring is intended to fulfill the secondary role. Draft-klensin-rfc-independent also has a secondary role, talking about the independent submissions.
