Answer to Question 1

The FOMC is the Federal Open Market Committee. All seven members of the Board of Governors and the 12 Federal Reserve Bank presidents attend and discuss the economy at the FOMC meeting. The voting members of the FOMC, however, are only the seven members of the Board of Governors, the president of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, and four presidents of the remaining Federal Reserve Banks who serve on an annual rotating basis. The FOMC meets approximately every six weeks to review the state of the economy and decide the monetary policy actions to be carried out by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.
