If you mean trace-route is part of the measurement protocol, then:

1) I don't think path-trace is measuring anything, unless the reason for adding round trip delay as an additional function was to make it look like it is measuring something.

2) Does OAM, that measure availability, also fall under this definition?

The charter only says this is under consideration, it is not saying it is a WG document or should be a WG document.

I think those that want this as a WG item, should do it!
As I see it path-trace is not, even implicitly, in the current charter.
