I don't remember that any issue regarding .us came before the board during my term.
You are right in that the US Dept of Commerce treats .us as if it, unlike any other ccTLD, is outside of the IANA[*] redelegation mechanism.
[*] It is important to be clear where the decisions are made. ICANN is not IANA. ICANN does IANA only as a hired, and dischargeable/replaceable contractor)
Given the DoC's actions over .us I am surprised that that the US DoC has not put its big foot into the .net redelegation on the grounds that the most important TLD (.net) might be moved outside of US control. [.net is the home TLD of many central resources of the net, such as the legacy DNS root servers, the servers for .com, .mil, etc]
