You already have - at least to a large degree -but you still want the UN Security Council veto rights, so you have to keep paying (some of) your "sponsorship".

What you are saying is that you will only sponsor what you like. That is reasonable.

Problem is that it has nothing to do with sponsorship. Nothing whatsoever. You don't call the shots. You just pay your dues to be a member like everyone else. Small difference I know, but pertinent to your response This was all well debated in 1997. The US decided to continue paying rather that to lose it's Security Council right. Your choice. You stayed - as a member, not a sponsor.
