The recent discovery of a light Higgs boson has opened up considerable interest in circular e+e- factories around the world. We report on progress TLEP concept since last year. is an collider capable very high luminosities wide centre-of-mass (ECM) spectrum from 90 to 350 GeV. could be housed new 80 100 km tunnel Geneva region. design can adapted different ring circumference (e.g. LEP3 27 LHC tunnel). ideal complementary machine thanks luminosity, exquisite determination ECM and possibility four interaction points, both for precision measurements properties tests closure Standard Model Z pole top threshold.
