How can I share ReSharper Unit Test Sessions across a team?

Question

I have set up two permanent test sessions in ReSharper 7 in Visual Studio 2010/2012 - "Passing" and "Failing". I run the Passing session daily and can quickly identify any regression failure since the last time in which case I move those tests into Failing, where I can work on it when I get time.
