This document summarizes the progress and funding status of the SiLC (Silicon Tracking for the Linear Collider) collaboration as discussed at the Cornell Linear Collider Workshop held from July 13-16, 2003. It highlights the review and ranking of proposals, funding outcomes, and the formation of the International Si Tracking Consortium. With participation from over 90 researchers across 18 institutes worldwide, SiLC aims to advance silicon tracking technologies for the Linear Collider. Upcoming plans for proposal readdressing in October are also outlined.
