QE tapering had been at the center of attention, and the decision against tapering was made by a 9:1 vote in September 2013, after which the decision then changed to a 9:1 vote in favor of tapering in December.
It is interesting that this change in the decision was understood as a matter of choosing the right time since early this year, and there was no discussion concerning what kinds of changes in economic conditions between September and December had caused a shift in the policy decision from 1:9 to 9:1.
