Note the following paragraphs from the RySG charter:
“A Registry that is owned or controlled by, or under
common ownership with, or affiliated with any entity that votes in another
stakeholder group in either house of the GNSO is not eligible for membership in
the RySG. Any question regarding eligibility or exceptions shall be determined
by a vote of the RySG.
The RySG will provide for
observer status for entities that may not be eligible for full membership
because of the preceding paragraph, and for entities that have applied, or
indicated an intention to apply, for a contract with ICANN to provide gTLD
registry services in support of one or more gTLDs.”

Can you point to where the
Bylaws (or anything else) say that? Alan

Right.
So you can be a member of each. Just not a voting member.

I believe the revised Bylaws GNSO provisions require that someone may not vote
in more than one SG or Constituency.

The old Bylaws said that an organization could be a member of more than one
Constituency. I would have sworn that the new Bylaws explicitly said that you
could not participate in multiple SG and had to choose, but I cannot find that
clause there. Is there a rule in either SG charter about multiple memberships??
