The NCUC places great priority on developing the skills of its members. In 2018, a policy writing course will be held in San Juan, Puerto Rico to improve members abilities to respond to opportunities for public comment. This is being funded through a $20,000 special budgetary request. In 2017, a two-day outreach event was held as a pre-event to ICANN 59 in Johannesburg, South Africa, where local civil society practitioners were invited to discover how their work relates to the activities of the NCUC. This event was a resounding success, organised in a bottom-up manner by the NCUC membership with a mere $7,500 from ICANN to cover to venue hire, and received praise from the local participants and the ICANN CEO.
