I have a few small comments that I collected during my review as responsible AD.
Please address them as part of the IETF last call.

Thanks,
Adrian

I think your core reference [6] is supposed to refer to RFC 2236 for the
core definition of IGMPv2. That RFC certainly matches the name of the
document you have given.

[Hint: idnits is your friend!]

idnits complains about the 2119 boiler plate because you are missing a
space in
  "RECOMMENDED","MAY",

Section 1 contains a clumsy sentence

   To alleviate the problem, unsolicited
   report messages are transmitted the [Robustness Variable] times
   (defined in [2][3]).

How about

   To alleviate this problem, unsolicited
   report messages are retransmitted a number of times according to the
   value of the [Robustness Variable] defined in [2] and [3].

Section 3

While *everyone* knows what S and G stand for, you should still say.

Subject: [pim] Last Call: <draft-ietf-pim-explicit-tracking-08.txt> (IGMP/MLD-
Based Explicit Membership Tracking Function for Multicast Routers) to Proposed
Standard

The IESG has received a request from the Protocol Independent Multicast
WG (pim) to consider the following document:
- 'IGMP/MLD-Based Explicit Membership Tracking Function for Multicast
   Routers'
  <draft-ietf-pim-explicit-tracking-08.txt> as Proposed Standard

The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits
final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the
ietf(_at_)ietf(_dot_)org mailing lists by 2013-11-06 (this is a 3 week last 
call to allow
extra time as people are preparing for IETF-88). Exceptionally, comments
may be sent to iesg(_at_)ietf(_dot_)org instead. In either case, please 
retain the
beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting.
