How does an organization make decisions independently of the members of the organization?
It doesn't. The distinction is between decisions that individual members make independently and decisions that individual members make communally.
If it helps, the underlying moral principle I'm working from here is "try to avoid making decisions that entail other people taking on risks without their consent."
Did they take on the risks when they entered the conspiracy, or do they only take on those risks when events beyond their control happen? It would be foolish to conspire with foolish or rash people, which is one reason why I don't.
