I am a board member appointed by Microsoft just like you are a board member

Microsoft's membership class in OIDF gives them a right to appoint a board
member. The corporation is not the board member.
Should I no longer be Microsoft's board representative (as they do have the
right to replace me) and I am elected to an officer position, that position
would go vacant and the vacancy would have to be filled a special officer
election by the board.
You would be choosing me -- not Microsoft. Hope this clarifies things.
That does seem like a much better way to think about it, and makes a lot
of sense.
