Only if they plan on using the reassigned networks for internal purposes.

If you are reassigning to an end user, and there are no inaddr servers,
POC information is not required.  In fact, we would recommend that you use
the reassign-simple template, where POCs are not permitted - defaults to
the upstream's.

The reason ARIN would need POC information is if the downstream can
further sub-delegate, or if they have inaddr servers.  We (and probably
the community) would want to deal directly with those responsible for the
network.  Therefore, the POCs should be from the downstream organization.

Absolutely.
