You have to check “enroll” each time, as there is option to stop being xgov … if you just commit as general gov 4x in a row (or not commit at all) after you enrolled after the xgov the next period you will not be xgov. Take it the way that you earn some algos from the general period (lets say 1000 algos), and this will be used in next 4 quarters as your voting rights. So if you commit the 2024Q1, in 2024Q2 you will have 1000 votes. If you do commit as general gov in Q2 or do not participate, you will have in 2024Q3 1000 votes. If you commit as xgov in Q3 with same yield, you will have in Q4 2000 xgov votes.
