I guess it depends on what you mean by politics. There have certainly
been drafts that discuss law and policy considerations of potential
IETF standards, including this one from us from 2003 (long before I
was here at CDT), that while it never was seen through to official
Informational RFC status, still has a lot of good material in it:

https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-morris-policy-considerations-00

"This document is motivated by the recognition that technical design
decisions made within the IETF and other standards bodies can have
significant impacts on public policy concerns."
