Mr. Fausett has been working with a variety of business in establishing and protecting their online presence and brands since 1997. In that year, he was succesfully involved with one of the first domain disputes between a trademark owner and a domain name registrant; the dispute was over the domain "earth.com". In 1998, he began working with Hasbro to register and protect their large portfolio of games, which led to the establishment of one of the first online gaming sites, "games.com".

In a letter dated December 8th, Fausett, along with twenty-seven other domain name industry participants, wrote to Sen. Jay Rockefeller and Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison to support [[ICANN]]'s new [[gTLD]] program, in response to the[[ICANN#New_gTLD_Senate_and_House_of_Representatives_Hearings|Senate Hearings]] taking place on the same day. They supported ICANN's argument that the program would be innovative and economically beneficial, and that the program had taken lots of people a long time to develop, hence it had not been rushed.<ref>[http://domainincite.com/new-gtld-industry-pleads-with-senators/ New gTLD industry pleads with senators]</ref> Read the letter [http://domainincite.com/docs/Senate-Letter-ICANN-Expansion-of-Top-Level-Domains-08.DEC.2011.pdf here].
