Will there be a "disband" button in the sov dashboard?
Sure. We'll make it black. And when you press it, a black light will light up a black panel that's labelled in black on a black background to let you know you've done it. Alternatively you get teleported to somewhere in W-Space. We're still arguing about that functionality.

And you leave out the most important statement of them all, the one that should've been FIRST on your agenda and that is TRANSITION from current sov-mechanics into the new ones.
The issue of the transition from the old mechanics to the new ones is something that is at the top of the list of priorities. This extends not just to making sure we account for all the current structures and processes, but that we test this to within an inch of its life several times over to make sure the deployment goes well. The process of moving from one to another is scary in its complexity and we are looking at several options to carry this out.
Work on this is not completed. We've created a new internal testing infrastructure specially for the sovereignty changes and are working through the various options open to us. Until we know exactly how it is going to work (and that it works) you should not expect exact details. In the full knowledge that any statements regarding the transition made at this point will be treated as final, gospel truth I am not going to commit my team and the deployment team to a course of action which may yet turn out to be unworkable.

rabid frothing of the mouth.
Could I recommend that before you make more such constructive comments you go for a walk and get some fresh air? Pet a kitten? Go watch a romantic comedy or listen to a Richard Marx album? Internet spaceships are serious business but they're not worth having an aneursym over. Honestly.

In a sense there will be control. If an alliance that owns the system does not pay the upkeep for the gates, then they shut down. That allows for control of stopping anyone from using the gates; friend or foe.
IMO that's a great thing.
Gates that are in an unclaimed system will continue to function normally for now. There were a ton of ideas floating around about reducing operational capacity, charging tolls or even shutting down stargates in unclaimed systems but all of them ended up being binned as too exploitable or just plain stupid. Not to say it might not happen but definitely not in this iteration of the mechanics.
