The general status of the International Linear Collider (ILC) project will be presented. After the publication of the RDR (Reference Design Report) in summer in 2007, the next milestone of the ILC project will be the Technical Design Report to be completed by the end of 2012. The GDE (Global Design Effort) has defined the period till 2010 summer as the Technical Design Phase 1 and is revisiting the design in RDR in the name of 'rebaselining'. The outline of the new design will be decided in March 2010 and will be reported in this talk together with the near future plan.

In an attempt at demonstrating an average field gradient of 31.5 MV/m as per the design accelerating gradient for ILC, a program called S1-Global is in progress as an international research collaboration among KEK, INFN, FNAL, DESY and SLAC. The S1-Global cryomodule will contain eight superconducting cavities from FNAL, DESY and KEK. The cryomodule will be constructed by joining two half-size cryomodules, each 6 m in length. The module containing four cavities from FNAL and DESY has been constructed by INFN. The module for four KEK cavities is being modified at present. The assembly of the cryomodules is scheduled from January 2010, and the operation of the system is scheduled from June 2010 at the KEK-STF. In this paper, the construction of the S1-Global cryomodule will be presented.
