Unfortunately, some standards only.

For insights into the politics of standards, I recommend Carl Malamud's "Exploring the Internet: A Technical Travelogue" (1992):

"For several years, I've been complaining about the high cost of international standards documents published by the ITU and other international standards groups. After all, I write professional reference books for a living and these documents are my raw materials." From: https://web.archive.org/web/20020602013813fw_/http://museum.media.org/eti/

ps: Some Australian Internet pioneers get a mention.
