The International Linear Collider (ILC) [1] is the proposed next generation e+ e- world facility for particle physics after the CERN p-p collider LHC. The 500 GeV ILC is presently in advanced planning stage with the accelerator design permitting a future upgrade in energy to 1 TeV. The ILC Reference Design Report (RDR) with the baseline design for the ILC accelerator and design concepts for four detectors for physics was released in August 2007. The goal is to submit the engineering design report with costs for the ILC machine and the design for two approved detectors to the international funding agencies for approval by 2010 in time for LHC results. There are no technological hurdles to ILC being operational for physics data taking by the end of the next decade
