Your proposal looks quite thorough. I'm in a bit over my head here, 
since I never had to go thru this process. So take my comments with a 
several grains of salt. Still, some questions that came to mind:
Should some minimum requirements for someone to be a reviewer be mentioned?
Is it necessary at this stage to add come clause to safeguard against 
conflict of interests?
As usual, it will be difficult to build and maintain a corps of 
volunteer reviewers. Nevertheless, I gather from your outline of the 
review process that at least two reviewers will be required for each 
article that requests peer review?
