I'm not 100% sure if I understand your definitions:

???

I define an alpha release as the following:
features may get added or removed during alpha cycle, of course you can
add your own policy about which features you accept.

no. feature freeze means exactly that:

no more new features are accepted, after feature freeze.
after feature freeze the accepted features stabilize in the beta phase,
you just fix bugs.

you should not call this "feature freeze" as this is not what is
commonly understood (imho) when you talk about feature freeze
(see my explanation above).

You might want to call this "feature acceptance criteria" or something
like that, at least it would be more clear (to me) what you mean.
