The Lists
So far I have counted four distinct lists and the fifth which may or may not be the same as one of the others.
List 1: Goodwins list of the tailies. He was not given the list at first rather he was to make one. I think he was supposed to find out the name of all of the survivors and make a list and send it back to Ben. Then, a list of 9 who were to be taken was made from Goodwins list.
List 2: Ethans List of the Midsection. He was supposed to create the same type of list Goodwin did. However he was caught in his lie by Hurley panicked and took Claire. So really it seems he did not complete the list from that section. So we really cannot be sure who would have been on the list of ones to be taken.
List 3: Miss Klugh's List given to Michael: This list had a very practical purpose. It had the names of Jack, Kate, Sawyer, Hurley. Jack was needed for his surgical skills. Kate & Sawyer were pawns used to control each other and manipulate Jack. Hurley was a messenger used to send back misinformation.
List 4: Jacob's list. We know that Jack is not on that list because it was specifically said that "Shepard isn't even on Jacobs list" Other than that we do not know for certain who else is or isn't on it. We also do not know the purpose of that list.
List 5: Mikhail's list: Not actually his list but he referred to a list. Mikhail never actually said "Jacob's list" but refferred to the list's creator as a "magnificant man" and "he". We know that Kate and Sayid are not on that list because they are flawed. It could be the same list as Jacob's but not a certainty yet.
Any lists I am missing? Are there any concrete proofs that the list Mikhail mentions is also Jacobs?
