Sounds like a good deal, i meet all the requisites but living in USA, plus i'm already doing something similar with an sponsor program in my country...but also running my own network, so i'm afraid it would be too much work for me to handle properly.
Just a point you should consider to probably get more offers (and that i had to discuss with that company i'm working with), you said this:

It makes the person to work as an affiliate, not as a partner. As everybody knows, there are a lot of affiliate sales that get lost in the mix, because no cookies set, or expiring ones, because branding can't be tracked with a link code but also brings future sales, because SEO work can't be fully tracked with an affiliate code, etc.
I think you have a good starting point, but if you want somebody to put the cash to become you partner, and to do the huge job of managing all the traffic, webmaster support etc, you can't just offer a % of the sales generated by his own link code (you already know yourself that it's a huge task if well done, in fact is why you want somebody to do it).
It would sound different if you offer something like "my site has 100 members when we sign the deal, you will get your cut from every member on top of those already existing".
Then that sounds more like a real and fair partnership, specially if you also require cash from your new partner, so it would be more or less like buying assets from your company (with the huge plus for you that you are still the sole owner on paper).
Anyway again i think it's a good starting point for somebody to become your partner, and over time, as you both gain confidence on each other, to become a full 50% partnership, where one partner shoots the content and creates the sites, and the other manages/grows traffic and work on sales/marketing. If well done, sound like the perfect team.
