Clarify which TLDs can be issued wildcard certificates #609

Description

@CBonnell

In the validation-sc teleconference on 2025-08-07, there was some uncertainty expressed about which TLDs can have a wildcard certificate issued.

Some TLDs that were discussed:

  • .com
  • .sb
  • .toyota, .apple

The Base Domain Name definition explicitly references ICANN specification 13, which may restrict the set of gTLDs allowed.

A more comprehensive review of the language in the various sections of BR is needed to determine the current rules and determine whether the current rules are desirable.
