The Bylaws should be more clear listing the areas that the WG Charters can overrule the Bylaws and take precedence.

Can someone give some specific examples of situations where WG Charters need to overrule the Bylaws and take precedence?

Here is a proposal - The Bylaws take precedence, unless the charter explicitly states for a specific provision that it overrides the Bylaws. In any event, the Forum has to vote on and approve charters, so there are sufficient checks and balances preventing an abuse of this.
