The Southern Baptist Convention (SBC) has passed a resolution on the 2011 revised New International Version (NIV2011). And not surprisingly they do not recommend that SBC churches use this translation. Also they do not want LifeWay to offer this translation for sale. This is similar to the position they took concerning the Today’s New International Version (TNIV) in the past.
Already the Council for Biblical Manhood and Womanhood (CBMW) has issued a statement not recommending use of the NIV2011. The other significant group to issue an official statement against use of the TNIV was the Presbyterian Church of America (PCA). I do not believe that they have passed any official resolutions concerning the NIV2011. But this something to keep an eye on.
The Committee on Bible Translations (CBT) is the committee of translators responsible for the changes to the NIV. The CBT has issues responses to both the SBC and the CBMW.
You can find some additional information about the revisions made in the NIV2011 in this past post.
