At the current time the IANA is not allocating additional root
servers.

At some point in the future it will be appropriate for additional root
servers to be allocated and possibly for the relocation of some
existing root servers.

The decisions about where to locate root servers will be based on
criteria that include the resources, connectivity, skills, and
management of the site and its staff, and the objectivity and
stability of the responsible organization.

RFC 2010 and 2182 provide more detailed information regarding some
aspect of root server operational criteria.
