There doesn't seem to be justification to giving Jeff Bezos an automatic seat on the A-Cloud board. I have not heard that he was active in AWS' development, nor that his business acumen has been particularly influential in AWS' growth.
A possible alternative is "Amazon can place one member on the A-Cloud board" or something to that effect.

Possibly. But Jeff is a really smart guy. Steve Yegge blogged that the Amazon dogma that all software must be implemented as a callable service came from Jeff. Also, an important function of board members is networking, helping make connections. I think you'd want him on your board if you could get him.
