Yes.

List Creation requires 'Postmaster' (site admin) privileges in LISTSERV.  List
Owners do not have the necessary privileges.  So you need the assistance of
the Administrator(s) of your host server to create the list(s) that will
become Sub-Lists.  Except for Ver 15.0 and later, you also need the assistance
of the Administrator(s) to set the Sub-Lists= keyword.  In general, List
Owners may not set this keyword at all, only Site Admins can do so.  (Starting
in 15.0, Owners may set this keyword only if they are an Owner= for all the
listed Sub-Lists in question.)
