(2) Unless prohibited by the plan, in the same manner as the plan was approved.
(c) If a plan of domestication is abandoned after a statement of domestication has been delivered to the Mayor for filing and before the statement of domestication becomes effective, a statement of abandonment, signed on behalf of the entity, shall be delivered to the Mayor for filing before the time the statement of domestication becomes effective.
