These actually can both be true.  A "subsidiary" is usually a corporation owned
by another corporation. The IETF is not a separate legal entity from the ISOC.

Though, just checking Black's Law Dictionary, "subsidiary" means:

  "Under another's control.  Usually short for "subsidiary corporation".
