backroom decision
When group decisions are being made, sometimes the issue is effectively determined by a subset of the group without the input (or sometimes, even without the knowledge) of the rest of the group, often done in secrecy, or a "backroom"
Backroom decisions often aren't communicated openly by those who made the decision to those who are being affected, leaving the affected to find out at the last minute, sometimes through a third party.
In best case scenerios, backroom decisions usually benefit most those few making the decision for the group, and in worst case, backroom decisions are meant to directly affect (usually in a negative manner) those not allowed input into the decision. Often times backroom decisions are immoral, unethical, and sometimes procedurely, or statutely, illegal.

Brian: Did you see how Webelos II wasn't allowed to participate in the Pack Pinewood Derby this year?
Joe: Yeah, total backroom decision.
Brian: Agree. They knew it doing it was wrong, it wasn't communicated openly to us. I found out last night at 8:30pm by the guy checking in cars.
Joe: I didn't find out until this morning. You would expect this kind of behavior from a bunch of 10 year olds, not grown men. Don't worry Karma has a way of working these things out.
