I think that TCP performance has always been in IPPM's charter. But like a few others, I have doubts that TCP-based throughput measurements will produce useful results, starting with the issue of what TCP version and other configuration options to use. However, Matt Mathis' suggestion deserves attention. I should also add that Ethernet-layer throughput testing has been proposed in ITU-T SG12 Q17, and contributions are expected on this topic at the November meeting (this is scheduled at the same time as IETF, so I won't be in Hiroshima in person).
