I'm not set on one way versus the other, but it will need to be discussed in some manner for the two reactions to be reconciled (i.e. concern absent certainty).
That many people do not like the idea because they want a clearer cut between the Hobbit and LotR.
But I think after AUJ there is no turning back - we will get a six piece Middle-earth saga rather than a seperate Hobbit and LotR.
That is why I agree that the rings should be in there through a second WC scene - I still hope for a shock moment in the Council when Gandalf tells them about Sauron. And then possibly Galadriel starting to speak: "The Enemy... Sauron... Annatar... the traitor..." Depending on what they are allowed to use it could be a flashback including more of Sauron's history (which would nicely show just HOW terrible his return is, even though the major conflict with him won't happen for another 60 years) or be strongely focused on the rings (I would prefer the former, as I think Sauron is more important to the story and the rings should be mere tools of his doings).
It could also be done via explanation only (which might be the case seeing the Saruman B-roll stuff) - but it should be done in a rather simple way. The most important thing is that they are portrayed in connection to Sauron and how he uses them to strengthen his control. It would be catastrophic for the storytelling if the normal audience start to get confused over what ring does what etc. Then it would be better not to mention them at all.
The One has to remain in the audience's mind as the "super ring" or the way it was shown almost as a character in itself in LotR will not work as nicely anymore looking at the 6-movie cycle (that is what Lucas messed up big time with trying to explain the Force). But they managed to pull that off with Galadriel's ring in FotR, so I am positive on that.

Why the Rings of Power will HAVE to be discussed in these movies by THe Council, just as the book says.

I think that the DoS prologue would be the most natural place to discuss about the Rings.

Who said the rings will be blamed for the greed?

There is a ring that is likely a Ring on Thror's finger in that prologue.

With the Necromancer in the picture, there is little choice.
