The q3-reference point is part of the concept of the
Telecommunications Management Network (TMN) as it is defined in
CCITT Recommendation M.3010. A q3-reference point "connects" two
function blocks. If these functions blocks are implemented in two
different physical systems (operations systems or network
elements) then the q3-refence points are implemented as a
Q3-interface. This interface takes care of the exchange of
management information between operations systems and network
elements. 

> Is there somwhere more info to find about this topic? Is there an RFC?

Yes, CCITT recommendation M.3010 and related recommendations. No  
there is no RFC since it is a CCITT recommendation.

> Is Q3 somehow related to CMIP or CMOT?

Yes it is. An OSI stack witk CMIP in layer 7 is used for a 
Q3-interface.
