I would absolutely endorse you as Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of Earth - though I imagine Aliens would need some time to fully appreciate your rapier wit and sardonic commentary before reducing us to a dust cloud.
I'm imagining Ambassadorial responsibilities - who would you be representing, just your local town or planet Earth? Would you have the right to represent others, or the authority to make agreements? How many alien races would you be interfacing with?
Any ETs visiting us would have compiled far more information about our world than any single Earthling could relate from our narrow perspective. Or is 'Ambassador' an alien word for 'volunteer specimen'?
Who would the Ambassador be communicating with - official representatives, alien school children, visitors to the zoo?
If we're lucky, future generations will enjoy more freedoms, more options, better education and a higher level of general wellbeing than us; possibly interacting with aliens from other civilisations if we have the technological ability to travel between the stars. But as a species, we'll have to work for it, like we worked for everything else that has been achieved.

If, by buying time for humanity is my calling, I am glad to report for duty.

I would reserve the right to speak for all mankind.
You'd be my first choice. Why do you think I hang around this place :)
Despite what Obi Wan said, I'm not so certain!
Perhaps I should have said, that in the reality I experience, I'm hoping for that particular outcome. And I'm always hoping for a bit of luck too.
"...exo-fascism...exo-racism..." Uh huh. How about exo-delusional?
