Polarization will play a crucial role at the Linear Collider for interpreting new physics signals and for making precision measurements. Backgrounds to new physics reactions can be reduced by choice of the electron polarization state. The origin of new physics reactions can be clarified by measuring their polarization-dependence. The baseline designs for the NLC/JLC and TESLA machines provide for polarized electron beams with Pe~ 80-90% expected. Initially the positron beams will be unpolarized, but there is significant interest and physics motivation for achieving polarized positron beams in future upgrades. The following is a list of topics, questions and some references. Suggestions are welcome! Physics Questions
