As Avri pointed out to Rosemary, this is not in the Bylaws but in the GNSO Improvement recommendations approved by the Board and currently being implemented in SG and Constituency charters.

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??
