ccTLDs (2-letter extensions) are NOT governed by ICANN policy.
The country (ie. Montenegro for .me) to which the ccTLD is delegated makes the rules - they could raise the renewal fee to anything they want, delete domains anytime, etc ... and more to the point, compared to gTLDs (.com, .net, etc), many ccTLDs have strict restrictions on what's permitted / usage.
And that goes for .US too ... the .US ccTLD operator, by order of the U.S. Dept of Commerce, forbids .US domains with certain dirty words ... the U.S. government ordered retroactive deletion of numerous such domains, including FuckCensorship.US
Not saying ccTLDs are automatically bad, but often best to use a gTLD, especially if the site is intended for a global audience (for localized content, ccTLDs, such as for Germany can be more ideal) and/or is of a nature that may bring extra scrutiny, such as an adult site.
