What is recorded here?
Formalized consistency, availability and partition tolerance and proved an impossibility result for achieving all three in the stated asynchronous network model, with a discussion of partially synchronous alternatives.

Scientific scope
The record is the exact two-author 2002 SIGACT News paper. The result is model- and definition-specific and is not the slogan that every system simply chooses any two properties at all times.
