Bob, the history of the no code movement has been covered on a number of 
venues, like QRZ, ARRL.org web site, etc.

Plus, the driving forces of technological change when the Maritime and Armed 
Forces dropped CW, the international regulators effectively dropped CW in 
2003, and many countries since then, have dropped it for their local ham 
populations, such as UK, and many Europeans, the Japanese, etc.  The effect 
for some time is that there are more hams NOT required to test for CW, than 
the number of hams in U.S. required to have CW skills.

With the internet, any ham can keep up to date on regulatory trends with the 
aid of Google.
