Reduce coupling with the Bylaws
The Process only needs to concern itself with the fact that the bylaws define that Consortium Members have Consortium Member Representatives, and that some Members (in the sense of the Process) do not qualify to be Consortium Members (and thus don't have a C.M.Rep.). It does not need to concern itself with why the bylaws exclude some organisations from being Consortium Members, and therefore reducing the interdependency is desirable: this allows the bylaws to evolve the criteria if needed, without needing any revision in the Process.
