  The International Linear Collider (ILC) is on the table now as a new global
energy-frontier accelerator laboratory taking data in the 2030s. The ILC
addresses key questions for our current understanding of particle physics. It
is based on a proven accelerator technology. Its experiments will challenge the
Standard Model of particle physics and will provide a new window to look beyond
it. This document brings the story of the ILC up to date, emphasizing its
strong physics motivation, its readiness for construction, and the opportunity
it presents to the US and the global particle physics community.
