1. Some Words from the New ILCSC Chair Shin-ichi Kurokawa KEK 8 th ACFA LC Workshop July 12, 2005 Daegu, Korea

3. Shin-ichi Kurokawa is Chair of ACFA from November 2004 for two years term. Shin-ichi Kurokawa has been selected as Chair if ILCSC in July for two years term. Shin-ichi Kurokawa has been the coordinator of China- Japan Core-University collaboration on accelerator science these 5 years. From this year this collaboration has been expanded to include Korea and India and will continue anther five years.

4. The Third ACFA Statement on International Linear Collider issued on Nov. 3, 2004 at the 9th Plenary ACFA Kolkata, India

5. ITRP Recommendation In August 2004, ICFA has decided on superconducting technology for the future linear collider (LC), by endorsing the resolution of the international technology recommendation panel (ITRP) created by ILCSC under ICFA. The ITRP report emphasizes the importance of world-wide unified approach as a single team to design the international linear collider (ILC).

6. Essence of ACFA Statement ACFA welcomes the truly international nature of the decision on technology for the ILC. This sets the stage for international collaboration in the design efforts for the ILC. ACFA reaffirms that the ILC, the next major high-energy physics project, should be realized by world-wide efforts. In such International collaboration ACFA and scientists in ACFA countries should play crucial and leading roles. ACFA reconfirms the importance of hosting ILC in Asia, which will make high energy physics and accelerator science truly global. With ILC entering this important phase, ACFA urges Governments of Asian countries to support participation of their scientists in GDI.

7. Main Role of ILCSC Work on a convincing argument that ILC is needed for getting satisfactory answers to some of the big questions that accelerator based science should now be able to address. Continuously try to make the ILC activities, GDE (Global Design Effort) and WWS (World Wide Studies), truly global. Devise a scheme and prepare for the next step of GDE to make ILC a real global project. To work with GDE (Barry, Gerry, Fumihiko, Brian) as "trouble shooters" when there are disputes about work division.

8. Asian Issues Asia has a good potentiality to be the host of ILC; however, at present differences among countries are very large. We should make interaction among researchers in the Asian world much stronger. Also it is important to invite researchers from Asian countries that have not actively participated in the ILC activities. With ILC entering this important phase, ACFA urges Governments of Asian countries to support participation of their scientists in GDE.

10. First two lines and last five lines of poems In the eighth month autumn's high winds angrily howl, And sweep three layers of thatch from off my house. If I could get a mansion with a thousand, ten thousand rooms, I'd give all scholars joy and shelter from cold. Solid as a mountain, the elements could not move it. Oh! If I (we) could see this house before me (us), I(we)'d happily freeze to death in my(our) broken hut!
