Dear Mr. Wales,
If JoeM is coming back to Wikipedia, what will happen to his sock puppet/multiple IP accounts? Will they also be unblocked?
Regards,

Below is a letter that JoeM sent to this mailing list, as well as to me privately. I have consulted with the ArbCom and found no opposition to my lifting Joe M's ban, which predates the ArbCom and was a long long time ago anyway. The apology is quite sound, and I welcome him as a newcomer and hope that everyone will mentally wipe the slate clean and greet him warmly.
I've recommended to Joe that he go out of his way to be extremely and extraordinarily mature, polite, and peaceful especially in the early months of his return.
