Yes, but the boilerplate doesn't help.  From the second paragraph of
"Status of this Memo":

Internet-Drafts are working documents of the Internet Engineering Task
Force (IETF). Note that other groups may also distribute working
documents as Internet-Drafts.

So it's an IETF document in addition to possibly being someone else's.
