For a single purpose, as a committee (2,3)

I believe the answer is:

ad hoc

(Other definitions for ad hoc that I've seen before include "specific occasion" , "Arranged for one purpose only (Latin)" , "(Created) for particular purpose" , "Intended for one specific matter" , "Devised for one particular occasion" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
