Nick-
I do believe these systems are set up to accommodate high aspirations
coupled with benign neglect. I'm sure you are not the only one to have
stood up something only to realize years later it is just sitting there
waiting for some attention.
If your goal is to "disband", the easiest route is probably to simply
continue to neglect... it might be in limbo now but eventually it will
actually rot, evaporate or disappear on it's own accord, I suspect.
If your goal is to stir it up again, then you CAN probably file back
reports and pay annual fees and refresh it for the moment.
Have fun!
