Once you have solved that problem (say, with delegation of big CIDR blocks to WRIRs which will delegate to WLIRs which will assign IPs to nodes ;->), you might also add some way of assigning AS numbers from whatever space you might have picked, and have some automated aggregation and AS formation protocol to make all that happen transparently. Might be fun...
Gack... acronym soup. I know what an AS number is but I'll have to read up on CIDR, WRIR, WLIR ......
That was a joke :-) In the "real" Internet, IANA delegates big blocks (/8s) to the RIRs (ARIN, RIPE, APNIC...), who delegate mid-size blocks (/18 to /14s) to the LIRs (ISPs), who delegate small blocks (/28s to /20s) to customers (companies, small ISPs...) who delegate IP addresses to end-users.
So given that there is WIANA, I thought there would be WRIRs, WLIRs, etc :-)
