> Search Update
> Following our March 26 meeting, Tatiana has met individually with Dick Canary, J. Maurice Rojas, and Ravi Shankar for initial phone screen interviews. The screening interview notes are linked in their individual application folders <https://drive.google.com/drive/u/3/folders/1I9bPTGHgdBt2a0GMkL88WiaHotZz4Ngr> for your review. Tatiana recommends advancing Dick and Ravi at this time. She is open to advancing J. Maurice if the committee is interested in learning more about his background. If advanced, they would be asked to submit a work product for review, and then invited to a panel interview to determine finalist candidates. An overview of the process <https://docs.google.com/document/d/10d1BFHs0qKPLzI_jLsRLamwTWuFEWYGZ5vuDAcKDQc0/edit?tab=t.0>, including the work product prompt, is linked for your review. Please let us know if you are comfortable advancing Dick and Ravi and whether you would like to learn more about J. Maurice.

> Scheduling Panel Interviews
> In addition, as we move to the next step, we propose a panel interview with this group via Zoom. To that end, please complete this survey with your availability <https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSe-wMqjOZmCvDeLhlU-oU4F_hNAW0d0ZaxSx5cZ-mAJAGr6SQ/viewform?usp=publish-editor> so we can coordinate a time to meet with those who are advanced. We expect the interview to last 60-75 minutes, and are asking for 90-minute holds so there is some buffer time built in. If possible, it would be great to get your availability by early next week, preferably by Monday or Tuesday. However, if you need more time, please let me know.

> We would appreciate your review and feedback on the rubric <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ifFZhIguzzm13woALf7KyhudnjU49j8eKbBhClko4bQ/edit?tab=t.0> for the ideal candidate profile. We will use this in the next steps of the process to assess Deputy Director candidates. In addition, I will also keep this status report <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1p5HHf9U-uiWIXyD6EKFM0cWDicXbry1k8sh1wtygBCg/edit?tab=t.0> up to date so you can have an overview of progress on the search.
> 
> Finally, we have Magdalena Daniela Toda <https://drive.google.com/drive/u/3/folders/1BT83dOFqEZrDCBWNpaTSVtq5Q8rW7oR_> on "hold" from our last meeting. Would you be interested in advancing her to an initial phone screen with Tatiana, or should we let her go, or continue to hold? All others have been declined. The dates next to their names are the dates the email was sent to notify them.
