As MichaelB indicates, if you're using Vanguard's automated service and don't want to take an RMD, you'll need to work with them to cancel it.
If you're not using the automated service and don't want to take your RMD, you can just not take it. There is no need to notify anyone or do anything.
You can also take less than your RMD amount if you wish. You can also, if you wish, do QCDs from your first dollar this year since RMDs are not required.
