 5 such charter entity shall reconsider the proposed charter, taking into
 6 consideration the comments and recommendation of the board of regents.
 7 Thereafter, the charter entity shall resubmit the proposed charter to
 8 the board of regents with modifications, provided that the applicant
 9 consents in writing to such modifications, [resubmit the proposed char-
 10 ter to the board of regents without modifications,] or abandon the
 11 proposed charter. The board of regents shall review each such resubmit-

 18 ter shall be deemed approved and issued at the expiration of such peri-
 19 od]. No resubmitted proposed charter shall be approved by the charter
 20 entity unless all recommendations of the board of regents are made to
