Gender issues with the new NIV (why are they calling it the NIV, it is just too confusing now). It should be noted that these guys didn't like the TNIV and I think Wayne Grudem is on this council, who was one of the editors on the ESV.
CBMW » CBMW Responds to New NIV(2011):
is still going to leave pastors and teachers with the rather onerous task of repeatedly advising the flock: “that is a singular ‘they’” or “that is a singular ‘them.’” And in many important verses, a reader will not be able to tell if “they” is meant as singular or plural from the new NIV(2011) English text alone (see John 14:23 for example).
Our initial analysis shows that the new NIV(2011) retains many of the problems that were present in the TNIV, on which it is based, especially with regard to the over 3,600 gender-related problems we previously identified. In spite of the many good changes made, our initial analysis reveals that a large percentage of our initial concerns still remain
