I'd like him to outline specifically what he did during his less than year away. Did he get help? What did he do to sit back and listen as he promised? Did he engage with victims to understand the severity of what he did?
It seems reasonable for him to have to at minimum share this if he expects to be welcomed back

I would just like to say this is incorrect. People seem to forget that if an average Joe does what Luis CK did then nobody hears about it without charges and if charged it's probably a footnote in the newspaper the people move on from quickly. Nobody is going to put on their resume that a couple of girls accused you of masterbating in front of them. If this is committed by a regular person the chances are high they are living their lives normally. Luis has been publicly humiliated. Luis can't go anywhere in public without people looking at him and judging him. The average person that commits the same infraction never has to worry about this.
