Here's a plain English summary of this rule.
The Oklahoma Bar Association is run by a group called the House of Delegates. This group makes the major decisions and sets the policies for the entire organization. Think of it like a board of directors that guides how the Association operates.
When the House of Delegates is not in session, it can hand off certain specific tasks or decisions to a smaller group called the Board of Governors. This allows the Association to keep functioning smoothly even when the full House of Delegates isn't meeting.
However, there are limits on this power. Both the House of Delegates and the Board of Governors must follow the official rules that govern the Association. They also have to follow any orders given by the Oklahoma Supreme Court. So while the House of Delegates has a lot of authority to set policy, that authority always takes a back seat to the court's rules and instructions.
