It is conceivable that the chin or someone of his choosing did have contacts with chicago (read above artical about how the chin handled the philly thing) before a decision is made to take out a boss u need permission from the commission to do so, even though the commission don't officially meet "publicly" that we know of, they still communicate with one another and the chin was a stickler for the rules, with that being said I can see how it can be possible that the chin reached out to chicago to let them know its gonna be trouble in the volcano, and reaching out to chicago again about the "gotti hit"
