Actually they assigned numbers to 4 petitions, you missed this one
RM-10869 - K4SX 18 September 2003
http://gullfoss2.fcc.gov/prod/ecfs/r...t=6515285 430

Brief summary follows --

RM-10867 ARRL Petition
Auto upgrade Technician and Novice to General
Auto upgrade Advanced to Extra
Create a new no-code beginner class with limited HF priveleges
Drop code requirements for General
Retain 5 WPM code for Extra

RM-10868 AG4RQ Petition
Merge Novice and Technician classes keeping priveleges of both
Upgrade Advanced to Extra
Retain 5 WPM code for General and Extra

RM-10869 K4SX Petition
Retains no-code Technician as is
Retains 5 WPM General
Increases Extra class to 13 WPM
no mention of Novice or Advanced class elimination

RM-10870 NCVEC Petition
Essentially the same as the ARRL petition, but removes the code requirement
for Extras also.


FWIW, I think the best possible result would be a combination of the ARRL
and AG4RQ versions -- merge Novice and Technician classes and priveleges.
Drop the code for General. Upgrade Advanced to Extra, and keep 5 WPM for
Extra.
