Description
The Project Implementation of the ILC is summarised in three parts. The ILC is a unique endeavour in particle physics; fully international from the outset, it currently has no “host laboratory” to provide infrastructure and support. The realisation of this project therefore presents unique challenges in scientific, technical and political arenas. This document presents a workable and efficient scheme to structure the project so that it can be effectively managed and so that it provides the requisite accountability to funding authorities. It suggests both general principles and outlines a specific model for ILC governance as well as summarising possible funding models.
