Would you elaborate please on how the federal reserve is federal? Please include specific wording from 1916...maybe your confusing a federal act with a federal entity?

Some observers mistakenly consider the Federal Reserve to be a private entity because the Reserve Banks are organized similarly to private corporations. For instance, each of the 12 Reserve Banks operates within its own particular geographic area, or District, of the United States, and each is separately incorporated and has its own board of directors. Commercial banks that are members of the Federal Reserve System hold stock in their District's Reserve Bank. However, owning Reserve Bank stock is quite different from owning stock in a private company. The Reserve Banks are not operated for profit, and ownership of a certain amount of stock is, by law, a condition of membership in the System. In fact, the Reserve Banks are required by law to transfer net earnings to the U.S. Treasury, after providing for all necessary expenses of the Reserve Banks, legally required dividend payments, and maintaining a limited balance in a surplus fund.
In order for an entity, enterprise, business or otherwise to get a .gov TLD it must submit a request to the commission who approves such requests. Meaning in order for a domain to get a .gov TLD it must be a government entity.
The Federal Reserve is a government entity. It may have some private corporate characteristics, but its existence is beholden to the people, ran and controlled by the government, hence it being a government entity.
