Looks good to me.
Luca had a mail a while ago with a number of ideas about the partners
program, hopefully he can provide you with a link to it or a copy of
it.
I'm not sure we need the criteria for each year, just one page with
the currently applicable criteria.

If they meet the criteria, sounds good.

You may also want to link to this page:

Debian does not have a way for companies to contribute financially to
LTS. The current LTS funding efforts are organised externally to
Debian, so I'm not sure listing LTS is appropriate at this stage. In
addition, having Debian contributors be paid by Debian is
controversial. Some events around this area were held at DebConf16.
