You have to be a LIR.

The /32 is for the LIR and its customers.  It's not meant to be given to
3rd parties.  (Of course that's possible, like in cases where the LIR is
not the same entity as the ISP -- but that means that the LIR will not 
get another /32, unless it can document that the first /32 is full).

There is no provider-independent IPv6 address space (as in "request it
via a LIR, take it, go away") yet.

A LIR is needed, but ASes can be requested for third parties that fulfill
the requirements in the policy documents (basically: "different routing 
policy").
