Consulting work in addition to H1B

Hi,
I have the following question that I can't find an answer to.

I know you can work for several employers as long as you have H1B for every one. But what if I am on the H1b visa and want to undertaketake a short-term consultancy with an international organzation (int orgs issue G4 visa for their employees). Is this legal? Would I have to convert to G4 visa and give up my permanent emploment and consequently H1B? To clarify, this would be a short term part-time consultancy in addition to my permenent job with an H1B employer.
Any insights are appreciated!
 
Evem for short term, employment requires authorization. You can not take another job unless you have a H1 for that position.
